Growing The Island Way
In its press release, the Commission on the Future of Agriculture and Agri-food on Prince Edward Island has challenged farmers and food processors to be leaders in a bold new vision of growth, economic prosperity, and environmental sustainability for the Province's largest industry. The twelve-member Commission released a Consultation Draft Report on October 30, 2008 after hearing over 40 presentations, reviewing written submissions, and holding a dozen Commission meetings over the summer and fall. This document will promote discussion, debate, and consensus building at a series of consultation workshops with agri-food system partners scheduled for November 25, 27 and 28, 2008.
THE COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE AND AGRI-FOOD ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
The Commission on the Future of Agriculture and Agri-Food on Prince Edward Island was established on May 1, 2008 to articulate a vision for agriculture and agri-food in Prince Edward Island and recommend steps to implement and achieve the vision.
The Commission has created this web site to inform the public, and the agriculture community, about this important initiative and to provide a forum for those who wish to offer their suggestions for an achievable vision for agriculture and agri-food.
We cannot predict the future but we can invent it.
