In today’s global economy, farmers must look beyond the fencepost to gain much-needed insights into how to maintain a competitive position in the global marketplace. agri benchmark is a non-profit global network of 60 agricultural economists from 50+ international partner institutions working closely with farmers and consultants who provide international insights into the strength and weaknesses of farming systems around the globe. Once a year, members of the agri benchmark Network meet to share first-hand insights on crop production. Canada has the honour of hosting the agri benchmark Network 2019.
Farm Management Canada and agri benchmark have organized a Global Forum on Wednesday, June 26th and Thursday June 27th, inviting members of the Canadian agricultural industry including growers, agribusiness, academics, consultants and governments to exchange insights with international experts of the agri benchmark Network representing the major commodity countries and explore paths to sustaining Canada’s competitive advantage.
