Canadian Agri-Food in a Value-Added World
Conference
Date: October 6, 2026 - October 7, 2026
Location: Ottawa ON
Join the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) in partnership with the Centre for Agri-Food Benchmarking for the fourth annual CAPI Exchange Conference, Canadian Agri-Food in a Value-Added World, on October 6 & 7 at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
In today’s rapidly changing global environment, Canada can no longer rely on the old way of doing things, from rules-based trade or production volumes to drive agri-food growth. The benefits of adding more value are substantial. It delivers economic growth, reduces risk, expands the economic and social impact of the sector and repositions agriculture and food as more than just a resource sector. But this cannot be done haphazardly. A policy reset, laser focused on how to add value to the sector, is needed.
CAPI’s fourth annual Exchange Conference, Canadian Agri-Food in a Value-Added World will confront these challenges head-on, exploring the actions needed to unlock value and secure Canada’s competitive edge in a critical sector. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the conversations that will define the future of Canadian agriculture and food.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ottawa in October 2026.
