Agrifood Policy and Trade Fora

Canada is facing major issues in the food and agriculture space. New and re-negotiated trade agreements, commodity market volatility, climate change, and the coming fourth-revolution in agriculture, all create uncertainty with respect to policy action by governments. With a resource rich, export oriented agri-food sector, issues such as these, both at home and aboard, will figure largely in Canada’s agricultural future.

These fora will provide a venue for discussion that will continue to drive positive change in the agriculture sector. 

These thought leaders’ fora will shine a light on contemporary agri-food industry issues, and will provide an evidence-based means by which the university will contribute to advancing the dialogue around food, agriculture and resource issues in Ontario.

Funds raised would go towards supporting a 10-year period of these forums ($50,000 per year) that would:  

• Bring together the top minds and policy makers in the agri-food industry
• Enable the university to play a pivotal role in connecting communities and catalyzing discovery and change
• Reinforce Guelph’s role as Canada’s Food University by providing a unique opportunity for engagement in issues of public concern
