"During the spring and summer of 2011, Federal/Provincial/Territorial (FPT) Governments engaged producers, processors, the public and stakeholders along the value chain from across Canada in a dialogue on the Growing Forward 2 Policy Framework. Discussions focused on the four elements of the framework, namely: its two proposed policy outcomes, competitiveness and market growth, and adaptability and sustainability; and two key drivers, innovation and institutional and physical infrastructure. ... Over the course of the GF2 industry engagement process, FPT governments had the opportunity to carry out a broad dialogue with the agriculture, agri-food and agri-based products sector on the proposed GF2 policy framework . These sessions as well as on-line input, helped develop a mutual understanding between government and industry on what is required to achieve a profitable, sustainable, competitive and innovative industry that is market-responsive, anticipates and adapts to changing circumstances, and is a major contributor to the well-being of all Canadians."
