Description

Our vision
Driving innovation and ingenuity to build a world leading agricultural and food economy for the benefit of all Canadians.
Our mission
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada provides leadership in the growth and development of a competitive, innovative and sustainable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.
Our responsibilities
The activities of the Department range from the farmer to the consumer, from the farm to global markets, through all phases of producing, processing and marketing of farm, food and bio-based products. Agriculture is also a shared jurisdiction in Canada, and the Department works closely with provincial and territorial governments in the development and delivery of policies and programs.
The Department is also responsible for ensuring collaboration with its portfolio partners which are also involved in regulating and supporting Canadian agriculture. The Department includes the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency. This special operating agency regulates and supervises pari-mutuel betting on horse racing at racetracks across Canada.
At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, we are an organization dedicated to serving the public. We are here to provide support to both our clients and colleagues. We are committed to delivering high quality service because we understand the importance of agriculture to our economy, communities, environment and human health.
At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, we are dedicated to making a continual effort to improve our services. In doing so as public servants, we take pride in embodying the values and behaviours of the Canadian federal public sector.
