Public Consultations
Public consultations provide Agriculture and Food with an opportunity to hear what Albertans are thinking on a particular issue. Responses to consultations help form policies and legislation that reflect Albertans' concerns.
Each consultation may have a variety of ways to provide your feedback to the government. This can include e-mail and online forms and surveys, phone numbers, and/or town hall meetings. To find out how to provide feedback to a specific consultation, follow the link for that consultation.
Competitiveness Initiative
Through the Competitiveness Initiative, Alberta Agriculture and Food is moving from what we know about the current state of our province's agri-food industry towards enhancing its long-term competitiveness. A Competitiveness Initiative steering group, representing a diverse range of agri-food sectors and the government, is meeting with industry and other experts. Feedback from these meetings is used to create and refine recommendations to identify competitiveness opportunities. Final recommendations will be presented to the Minister of Agriculture and Food in May 2008. More information is available from the Competitiveness Initiative website.
Industry Governance Review
The Agricultural Products Marketing Council is leading an industry governance review to identify current issues and ideas to improve industry performance, competitiveness, and governance. As part of the governance review, the Marketing Council is consulting with the 20 agricultural boards and commissions along with other industry stakeholders. The Marketing Council is also using an online survey to collect feedback on potential overlaps and redundancies in existing Albertan and Canadian agricultural organizations. You can access the survey from the Industry Governance Review site.
