Government Ag Policy Capacity: Learning from the PFRA, Building a CFRA

in-person event

Start time by time zone
12 Noon PDT / 1pm MDT / 2pm CDT / 3pm EDT / 4pm ADT

October 12, 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm CST

What is the NFU’s proposed Canadian Farm Resilience Agency (CFRA)?  How will it function?  Why does the climate crisis require this type of all-out response?  How does the CFRA draw on, and update, the model of the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) established during the 1930s?  Join us as we look back on the PFRA and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and look ahead to a CFRA as a response to the challenges of the 2030s, and beyond.
