In spring 2010, federal, provincial and territorial governments undertook a dialogue with representatives of the Canadian agriculture, agri-food and agri-based processing sector (the sector) to: Develop a common understanding of the current state of the sector and key drivers shaping its future; Identify the sector’s long-term objectives; and Discuss how the sector and governments can work together to meet future challenges and take advantage of the opportunities which will present themselves. This report tries to capture the essence of all the ideas that arose during the discussion.
