We provide a neutral place to hold dialogues and generate perspectives among leaders across the food system.

Open


Through a partnership-oriented approach, we facilitate comprehensive research and frank dialogue.

Forward-Looking


CAPI’s focus is on long term issues and consequences that could potentially have adverse or positive implications for the agri-food sector.

hoWLet’s Work TOgether

CAPI’s work is only possible because of the generous support of individuals and organizations.

CAPI works with public and private partners to advance policy solutions that enable agriculture and the food value-chain to meet the growing needs of consumers in Canada and around the world through a more resilient, sustainable, productive, competitive, and profitable food system. 

There are three avenues for you to support CAPI: become a CAPI partner and work with us to advance policy solutions, engage with CAPI on a project that tackles the complex and dynamic challenges facing Canadian agriculture and food, or donate to the Canadian Agri-Food Foundation, a registered charity.

HOW

PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

 

The policy landscape is shifting, and so is CAPI. Success requires new policy solutions, new coalitions, more evidence and analysis, and working harder and smarter. The agriculture and food sector needs a safe space and independent voice for challenging conversations if we are going to achieve the goal of meeting the growing needs of consumers in Canada and around the world through a more resilient, sustainable, productive, competitive, and profitable agri-food system.

Let’s advance policy solutions together. Through groundbreaking research, collaboration across agri-food, and knowledge mobilization. CAPI’s new partnership program embraces CAPI’s role as a convener and venue for agri-food to continue to come together. Consider partnering with us today.

HOWCANADIAN AGRI-FOOD FOUNDATION

The Canadian Agri-Food Foundation (CAFF) is a registered charitable organization incorporated under the laws of Canada. CAFF is governed and run by a four-person voluntary Board of Directors. It operates at arms-length and independent from the structure and authority of the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI), a not-for-profit organization.  Directors are in support of the goals, objectives and policies of CAPI.

The objective of the Foundation is to promote excellence in the agriculture and agri-food industry in Canada for the benefit of the public by conducting research on best practices related to the agriculture and agri-food industry and disseminating the results of the research to the public, industry stakeholders, the policy research community and the federal and provincial governments and in particular by:

  • conducting research and sharing results on existing and emerging issues in the agricultural sector;
  • developing and assessing balanced, unbiased alternative to issues in the agricultural sector; and
  • providing industry stakeholders advice and a third-party perspective when agricultural policy decisions are made.

Support CAFF – You can make a difference. Consider becoming a partner or supporter of our work through the Canadian Agri-Food Foundation, a registered charity. Your commitment is vital as it is urgent to intensify our efforts as agriculture and agri-food can be essential solution providers for the economy, environment, health, food and global security but creative policy changes are essential.
