Goals and Objectives
The Canadian Agricultural Trade Policy and Competitiveness Research Network has the goal of improving the economic performance of the agri-food sector through research designed to enhance and better understand Canada's trade performance, competitiveness and policy options. In meeting this goal the Network will: 1) bring together a critical mass of researchers from academia and other organizations; 2) contribute to an informed debate on policy issues; and 3) increase the capacity to deliver agricultural policy research through research projects involving graduate students.
The work of the CATPRN will be organized under eight subject headings:
Trade Negotiations
Market Opportunities
Competitiveness and the Structure of Production, Marketing and Trade
Domestic Policy
Consumer Safety and Quality
Plant and Animal Health
Environment and Trade
Developing Country Issues
The CATPRN is funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) but the views expressed in the publications by CATRPN members are those of the authors and should not be attributed to AAFC or to the CATPRN.
