The National Index on Agri-Food Performance for Sustainability and its Value for Policy Making
CAPI was commissioned by the coalition of partners of the National Index on Agri-Food Performance project to “conduct an assessment of how a National Index on Agri-Food Performance can inform the trade policy and innovation ecosystem by focusing on selected domestic and global policy priorities important for achieving sustainability of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food system.”
In early 2022, CAPI heard perspectives from over 30 stakeholders on the current state of evidence in policymaking, the role the Index could play in informing and influencing policy and program priorities, credibility and relevance of evidence in policymaking and its limitations.
