This will help to inform about key challenges facing the sector, and where there may be opportunities to collaborate for mutual benefit. Importantly, this mission will initiate engagement with key Canadian stakeholders across policy / funding; the research-base and industry to raise awareness of UK interest in future collaboration opportunities across the agri-food sector when common priorities can be identified.
