Outaouais Biofood Development Plan (PDBO) 2020-2025
The mission of the Table agroalimentaire de l'Outaouais (TAO): concert and coordinate the development, at the regional level, of the biofood sector. Among his main responsibilities is the creation and management of a multi-year plan for the sector. To this end, thanks to funding from the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ), it initiated, in January 2019, the implementation of the Outaouais Biofood Development Plan. 2020-2025.
Aware of the importance of mobilizing a multiplicity of actors in the process, the organization surveyed companies and sector partners, and the public:
► Questionnaires to companies and sectoral partners, and to the public;
► A collection of comments in producer meetings;
► Territorial consultations;
► A regional forum. The goal: echo the concerns and priorities of the bio-food sector.
We should mention, in passing, the concern for alignment with territorial planning tools, and the continuation of the efforts inherent in the 2013-2018 planning.
BUILDING THE FUTURE: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE BIO-FOOD SYSTEMS IN THE OUTAOUAIS
At the end of this strategic planning, the actors will have contributed to developing sustainable biofood systems in the Outaouais, for products anchored in the territory, diversified, respectful of ecosystems, healthy and, above all, accessible to all for dynamic communities and in health.
This project was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food as part of the Territories: Biofood Priorities program.
