Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector is one of our most valuable strategic assets—feeding the world, driving economic growth, and leading in sustainable innovation. But to remain competitive in an increasingly complex global landscape, we must invest in the future of food production, processing, and technology.

Our new Future in Focus: Canada’s Agriculture Day explores the following themes:

• Innovation as the Key to Growth – From biotech advancements to carbon-smart farming, innovation is shaping the future of sustainable agriculture and ensuring Canada remains a global leader.
• Bridging the Gap Between Invention and Market Impact – Canada is a powerhouse in research, but we need stronger pathways to translate breakthroughs into scalable solutions that drive productivity and profitability.
• Modernizing Canada’s Agriculture Policy & Investment Strategy – With increasing global food demand, how can Canada align regulations, incentives, and infrastructure to unlock the full potential of our agri-food industry?
• The Future of Value-Added Agriculture – Creating high-value food products from Canadian-grown commodities is essential to strengthening our economy, diversifying markets, and enhancing global competitiveness.
• Agriculture as a Strategic Asset – At a time of global volatility, Canada’s agriculture sector must be recognized as a pillar of national security, economic resilience, and international trade stability.

Now is the time to reimagine how we invest in, regulate, and support the future of agriculture in Canada. Let’s work together to drive innovation, grow our economy, and secure Canada’s position as a global agricultural powerhouse.
