Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives

Message from Honourable Rosann Wowchuk

Agriculture has long been a pivotal contributor to Manitoba’s economy and its success story continues to unfold every day, in communities all across the province. What’s changed is the business of agriculture, so we must continually review and revise our strategy to maintain a competitive edge.

There are challenges associated with any major industry shift, but wherever there is challenge, there is also opportunity. That’s why we continue to work with the industry and government partners to maximize opportunities for innovation and growth. Growing Forward represents a creative collaboration between the federal, provincial and territorial governments to build on our successes and to inspire and support new ones.

Our government shares your vision of a thriving industry that evolves and thrives with changing market demands. We listened to your ideas about how to improve on our industry track record and we are putting your words into action.

Growing Forward is the promising result. By working together – producers, government, industry, entrepreneurs – we will further develop the industry that has played such a significant role in our province’s past and holds so much potential for our future.

Call or visit your local GO Centre today for more information about Growing Forward and the many other programs designed to help you – and Manitoba – grow and thrive. The possibilities are endless.
