July Pre-FPT Meeting

This engagement supported preparation for the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers of Agriculture meeting hosted on October 14-16, 2020. Discussion topics included post-COVID-19 resiliency, market opportunities, Business Risk Management, and the use of technology and innovation to advance the agriculture sector.

There were four forum topics discussed:

• Business Risk Management
• Resiliency
• Innovation and Technology
• Market Opportunities

This engagement complemented an in-person, week-long tour by the minister that included multiple stops in rural Manitoba in an open dialogue format.

Responses from each forum discussion and in-person meeting were used to prepare a What We Heard Report detailing key takeaways in each area. The archived forum discussions are still available for review on EngageMB.
