With all that has happened, 2021 is a year that Canadian agri-food will remember: a drought across western Canada, a federal election, an increasing focus on agriculture and environment policy, a critical labour shortage and ongoing disruptions in international markets. These are just a few things that were driving agri-food policy in 2021. Not to mention a global dialogue around food systems that calls for significant change. It is critical to reflect on the last 12 months of agriculture policy and look ahead to what will matter in 2022. We invite you to join the discussion with our expert panelists on January 18 2022 at 11am ET as we enter this new year.

Avec tout ce qui s'est passé, je pense que 2021 est une année dont le secteur agroalimentaire canadien se souviendra : une sécheresse dans l'Ouest canadien, des élections fédérales, un intérêt croissant pour les politiques agroalimentaires et environnementales, une pénurie grave de travailleurs et des perturbations continues sur les marchés internationaux et dans les chaines d’approvisionnement. Ce ne sont là que quelques-uns des facteurs qui influencaient les politiques agroalimentaires en 2021. Et cela n’inclut même pas le dialogue global sur les systèmes alimentaires qui réclame des changements importants. Il est essentiel de réfléchir aux 12 derniers mois et de considérer quels enjeux auront un impact en 2022.
