About Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives

Our Philosophy and Values

Our Department's philosophy and values are based on a fundamental caring commitment to people -- our clients and our employees. This caring commitment as found in the following statements has stood the test of time. These statements define who we are and our attitude towards others.

The People We Serve -- Our Foremost Priority

The people we serve is why our Department exists.

We work together as a team with our clients to advance our province's agriculture and food industry.

The people we serve range from farm families, food processors, consumers, and Cabinet, to other government departments and to our fellow employees.

Our Best Job Performance

We, as employees, are committed to giving our best job performance every day with pride and professionalism.

We Are One Organization

We all share a commitment to our Department, a greater whole, that take precedence over any of its parts.

Similarly, we all share a greater commitment to the Government of Manitoba and its priorities.

At all employee levels we strive to understand our roles within our Department's overall mission, goals, beliefs and values.

We Are Public Trustees

We are entrusted with managing funds and other resources owned by the public we serve.

At all employee levels we are committed to ensuring that we make the most effective and efficient use of the public resources entrusted to our care.

Foundation of Our Beliefs

Within our organization's philosophy and values the primary statement we adhere to is our commitment to "The People We Serve -- Our Foremost Priority." In effect, this client-focused commitment serves as the foundation that other beliefs are built upon. Throughout the decades Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives’ strategic priorities have undergone considerable change. But our primary commitment has essentially remained the same -- and no doubt will continue to remain so in the long-term future.
