We hope you were able to join us at the 2007 Agri-Food
Innovation Forum in Ottawa, as we explored 'The Business of Green
Solutions'.
A top line-up of excellent Canadian and international speakers
informed and advised attendees on agri-food technologies and business
models that are not only profitable, but environmentally beneficial
as well.
Just as the face of Canadian agriculture has changed vastly over
the past 100 years, the increasingly green business climate will
change the sector's future directions. New opportunities exist for
those who are quick to embrace innovation behind and beyond the
farm gate.
