RURAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The agri-food industry plays an important role in the economic health of Canada - $150 billion per year to the Canadian economy, employing one in seven Canadians.
- Canada remains the world-leader in the supply of agricultural products.
- However, the world-marketplace is becoming increasingly competitive and Canada is at risk of not only losing market share, but of not being in a position to take advantage of new market opportunities.
- It is only through having everyone in the agricultural value chain working together with a shared vision that the agricultural community and its partners will be able to take full advantage of the projected growth in the emerging global bio-economy.
- By embracing innovation, new economic opportunities can be realized in rural and urban communities alike.
