Next Policy Framework – Setting Our Priorities

NEW - What We Heard Report

Building on previous engagements, we want to understand your thoughts on the priorities and future direction of Manitoba’s Agriculture and Agri-Food industry. This information will support preparation for the upcoming Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers of Agriculture meeting where NPF priorities and the policy statement will be set.

In previous engagements we have heard the importance of existing Ag Action MB priorities, including:

• markets and trade
• science, research and innovation
• risk management
• environmental sustainability and climate change
• value-added agriculture and agri-food processing
• public trust

However, we must also reflect on connections between those and new and emerging priorities in the agri-food sector.

We want to better understand:

• Your experiences with the Ag Action Manitoba program
• Your thoughts on existing Ag Action MB priority areas
• Your thoughts on new and emerging issues and opportunities in the sector

Survey responses were used to prepare a What We Heard Report detailing key takeaways.
