A regional vision rooted in the territories: The BODP is a bit like an agricultural zone development plan (PDZA), but on a regional scale. It is rooted in the PDZAs, which reflect the needs and particularities of each territory. It brings together their issues and realities to create a coherent development vision.

Synergy and coherence of actions: By integrating the AZDPs, we promote greater cooperation between the various players and sectors. This actively contributes to the regional cohesion of initiatives and enhances their impact in the region.

A frame of reference for joint action: The BOPD is our common compass. It sheds light on the challenges and priorities of the biofood sector, and guides the actions of the Table agroalimentaire de l'Outaouais and its partners, for coherent, high-impact development of the sector.

Optimal allocation of resources: The BDP enables us to allocate financial, human and material resources where they are most needed. We put the means where it really counts! For example, the Entente sectorielle de développement du secteur bioalimentaire de l'Outaouais (ESBO) relies on BODP priorities to direct funding, ensuring that relevant projects receive adequate support.

Access to resources and financing: The PDBO facilitates access to government funding by highlighting the region's specific needs. It enables programs to be adapted to regional realities and serves to justify funding requests.

Critical mass: The regional scale makes it possible to bring together a greater number of companies and resources to carry out joint projects. This concentration strengthens initiatives and gives them greater scope.

Strengthening regional identity: The regional scale has a greater impact in enhancing local products and promoting sustainable practices. By uniting the strengths of the entire territory, it helps shape a coherent, strong identity for the Outaouais, creating shared pride and recognition beyond the region.
