The agriculture and agri-food industry in BC is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. How well we react to these changes will determine industry’s success in the future. With this in mind, Investment Agriculture Foundation, the BC Agriculture Council, the BC Food Processors Association and other organizations came together to commission the Focus on the Future project.

This industry-driven project wrapped up in spring 2006. The final report identifies issues important to the industry’s long-term profitability as well as five key issues and opportunities to be addressed in the short term:
  Industry Organization Capacity Building
  Marketing Capacity Building
  Human Resource Development
  Innovation Technology Hub Development
  Coordination of Programs for Branding BC Products
We will commit resources, within our mandate, to partner with industry to advance the priorities identified under these initiatives.
