PL1.3_PR – DEVELOPING AN INTEGRATED FOOD SYSTEM: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH

Abstract:

This is presenting new challenges and opportunities across the food system as many consumers are linking food, health and environmental sustainability, among other matters, with implications for agri-food supply chains, governments and other food stakeholders. How is Canada’s food system responding? What new win-win approaches are needed to respond to changing consumer food requirements and enhance the economic prospects of the food sector?
