The Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) and the Ontario Agriculture College are hosting a presentation and panel discussion on the important topic of the resiliency of Canada’s agri-food supply chain.

Over the last several years supply chains have faced significant pressures from the pandemic, extreme weather, climate change and other disruptions. Taking a proactive approach, including understanding the sources of supply chain vulnerabilities, and building frameworks to address them is key to building a more resilient supply chain.

The session will include a presentation on a supply chain vulnerability mapping project being undertaken by CAPI, followed by a panel discussion on the critically important topic of building more resilient agri-food supply chains.

• What? ‘Understanding our Vulnerabilities: Agri-food Supply Chain Resilience’.
• Where? The GrandWay Events Centre, 7445 Wellington County Road – Elora, ON and online.
