Introducing the Destination Report:

The Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) presents an agri-food strategy for Canada. Since 2009, CAPI has been engaged in a process to develop new ideas for a strategic shift in the agri-food sector. This discussion paper is the culmination of that work.

Canada needs a long-term plan for the agri-food sector. CAPI presents the case for a “destination” – a commonly held, long-term goal with precise targets. This represents a mindset shift.

Canada can be the world’s leading producer of nutritious and safe foods produced in a sustainable, profitable manner. Canada needs a compelling food plan that is systems-based, not value chain-based.

CAPI proposes that Canada’s destination be about having “the most successful good food systems on the planet.” This paper describes the reasons for this approach, the initial targets, and five enablers that can help the sector achieve this goal.

CAPI presents this destination plan for national discussion.
