Mandates :

Based on the elements derived from the diagnosis on the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities of our current R & D model in the Quebec pork sector and what emerged during the FORUM held on September 27, 2017, to propose:
  • a mechanism for identifying research, development and innovation priorities in response to the needs of all segments of the pork industry;
  • an implementation plan for this mechanism;
  • identification of concrete ways to improve networking between public and private partners;
  • encourage the implementation of new collaborations, joint initiatives and project implementation, involving multidisciplinary teams from various organizations;
  • an effective formula to respond quickly to evolving priorities of the value chain, including a communication approach to direct the necessary resources;
  • concrete improvements to be made to the granting agencies regarding research funding measures;
  • recommendations for the swine sector, derived from the analysis of models applied in the mining and forestry sectors;
  • an action plan to improve transfer and distribution activities;
  • advice on major projects with benefits for the entire industry.
