Agricultural Policy Framework

The Agricultural Policy Framework is a federal, provincial and territorial strategy for the Canadian agricultural sector.

It was launched in 2003 to help the food producing and processing industry become a world leader in business risk management, environment, food safety and food quality, renewal and science and innovation. The framework ends in March 2008, to be replaced by the Growing Forward framework.

Growing Forward

On June 29, 2007, federal, provincial and territorial, Ministers of Agriculture agreed in principle on Growing Forward, a bold market-driven vision for Canada's agriculture, agri-food and agri-based products industry, that will form the basis for governments to work toward a new agriculture policy framework.

For up-to-date on information about policies, programs and services available to Canada's producers and processors, please visit the Growing Forward website.
