Foodservice Value Chain Initiative

What is the Initiative?

The Foodservice Value Chain Initiative is being undertaken by the Agriculture Council of Saskatchewan Inc. (ACS), and is being funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food (ACAAF) program. This program will provide knowledge and expertise to Saskatchewan’s producers and processors to allow them to meet the needs of the foodservice industry and allow all within the industry to build on the success of the past decade.
 The Foodservice Value Chain Initiative will:

• Enhance the awareness of foodservice operators of the capabilities of the Saskatchewan agri-food industry;
• Educate Saskatchewan growers and processors of the nature and needs of the foodservice industry; and,
• Facilitate collaboration between foodservice operators and the agri-food industry and coordinate available resources to bring innovative and relevant food products to the foodservice industry to meet consumer needs.

The Foodservice Value Chain Initiative focuses on a consumer and operator driven approach, working with foodservice operators to identify market opportunities and/or operational challenges that can be addressed through innovative new foodservice products. The initiative then seeks to source those products through Saskatchewan food growers and processors and bring them to market in a timely and reliable fashion.
