Summary of annual plans of recipient:
In accordance with article 9 of its funding agreement, CAPI submitted the required plans: Policy Research Plan FY 2010-11, Administrative Activities FY 2010-11, and Business Plan FY 2010-11 in January 2010. The 2011-12 Research and Business Plan is expected by the end of January 2011. An interim performance evaluation of CAPI was done by an independant auditor and submitted by CAPI to AAFC in June 2010.
At its Annual General Meeting in June 2009, the CAPI Board of Directors confirmed the Institute’s three-year objectives and research strategy, after input from its advisory committee and with broad input from consultations with academia, government and the agri-food chain organizations. CAPI's three-year objectives are to shape a national dialogue by addressing the policy models for the emerging agri-food world; to define Canada's advantage through the themes of food and wellness, sustainability, viability, and to develop the policy linkages to improve competitiveness and profitability of the sector.
To meet this target, two projects types have been identified. The first, referred to as Partnership projects, aims to leverage industry and government support to address specific sector challenges and policy issues. The second, referred to as Visionary projects, will explore critical issues in the agri-food sector, identify policy options and engage decision-makers in dialogue.
