The Canadian
Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI)
and the Ontario
Agriculture College are hosting a presentation and panel discussion on the important topic of the resiliency of Canada’s agri-food supply chain.
Over the last several years supply chains have faced significant pressures from the pandemic, extreme weather, climate change and other disruptions. Taking a proactive approach, including understanding
the sources of supply chain vulnerabilities, and building frameworks to address them is key to building a more resilient supply chain.
The session will include a presentation on a supply chain vulnerability mapping project being undertaken by CAPI, followed by a panel discussion on the critically important topic of building more resilient
agri-food supply chains.
