With constant pressure from changing weather conditions and geopolitical climate, sustainability is at the forefront of Canadian agri-food. Stakeholders are faced with decisions to make practices more sustainable while maintaining productivity and profitability. By attending Canadian Agri-Food in a Sustainable World, you will be able to hear firsthand from leaders in agri-food who will provide insight into how Canada can achieve sustainability goals, the role of policy in achieving these goals, and what implications this will have for the growth of the sector. The conference program is filling up quickly. Don’t miss your chance to hear from: 

• Alanna Koch, Board Chair, Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) 

• Pierre Petelle, President & CEO, CropLife Canada 

• Shari Rogge-Fiddler, President & CEO, Farm Foundation 

• Brent Preston, President, Farmers for Climate Solutions 

• Greg Northey, Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Pulse Canada 

• Claire Citeau, Distinguished Fellow, Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) 

Not only will you get to hear from leaders in agri-food, you will also get to experience all that the nation’s capital has to offer. The conference is taking place at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on October 2 and 3. The National Arts Centre is in the heart of downtown Ottawa, offering scenic views of the Rideau Canal and is located just minutes away from Parliament Hill and the bustling By-Ward Market. The city has much to offer in the way of museums, restaurants, and outdoor activities, but is also home to Canada’s federal government, making it the perfect location for discussing sustainability in the agri-food sector.
