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

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.
