AGRI-FOOD BUSINESS PLANNING WORKSHOP
The workshop is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and is a federal-provincial-territorial initiative to support the growth and success of the Agri-Food Industry.
There are many great moments that happen during these workshops and it’s absolutely incredible to be a part of it! To be frank, this is one of the most collaborative industries and space to be in. Everyone is willing to help one another grow. In one of the last workshops, a new processor was overwhelmed with all the nuances of the regulatory system, how to find a commissary to work out and how to prioritize next steps: By the end of the workshop, she had basically struck strategic alliances with almost everyone in the room to help her with all these areas. She left inspired, motivated and with specific next steps to build and grow with a new support team. In the most recent workshop in Prince George, we had a Craft brewer and a Hops grower in that began collaboration almost immediately to support one another’s growth!
