CULTIVATING A HEALTHY PLANET
Address food-systems related challenges and opportunities associated with climate change, water, energy, nature, and land use
GROWING OUR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

Showcase Canadian and international leadership in continuing to advance action towards more sustainable and secure global food systems.
Provide a ‘whole-of-system’ platform to advance solutions from seed to fork and beyond, supporting our agri-food sectors, and stimulating the Canadian and global economies.
