Managing Agri-Food Legal & Business Risks

Meeting the Challenges of Sustainability of the Canadian Agri-Food Sector

Monday, January 25 to Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Organizations operating in the agri-food sector across Canada are encountering numerous challenges that affect their ability to maintain market share and comply with multiple sets of regulatory requirements in many different jurisdictions.

To manage and mitigate the potentially crippling effects of restrictive international trade practices, agri-food businesses must develop new, safer, healthier and more innovative products and inputs to remain competitive – all within the context of heightened economic caution, political uncertainty, environmental fragility, and an increasingly stringent and complex regulatory framework.

At The Canadian Institute’s Managing Agri-Food Legal and Business Risks conference, our outstanding speaker faculty of leading agri-food sector representatives and top-rated legal speakers will provide you with the key regulatory, political and scientific updates you need to know to help you:

  • DETERMINE the impacts of the latest developments in international trade policy and law
  • DEVELOP strategies to maximize the value of the Canadian domestic market
  • WORK EFFECTIVELY with governments to promote new agri-food products
  • IDENTIFY best practices to balance compliance with domestic, international and industry rules for GM products
  • EXPLORE opportunities arising from Canadian and U.S. carbon trading developments
  • And much more!
