Consultations on the new Sustainable Agriculture Strategy (SAS) have begun, led by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). It is important that the voice ag retailers and their farm customers be heard.
AAFC is hosting four virtual, regional focused roundtables for producers. Be sure to get your ag community involved.

Feedback received through the virtual sessions will inform the development of the SAS and support the work of the SAS-advisory committee, co-chaired by AAFC and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
