CIRANO at the Pôle bioalimentaire’s annual Rendezvous : exchanges and strategies for a resilient sector

On April 2, Ingrid Peignier, Senior Director of Partnerships and Research Valorization at CIRANO, and Lota D. Tamini, Professor at Université Laval, CIRANO researcher and Fellow, took part in the first edition of the Pôle bioalimentaire's annual Rendez-vous, which brought together over 145 people from research, industry, government departments, students and the community.

Against a backdrop of trade tensions with the United States, Lota D. Tamini presented a lecture on the impact of trade barriers on food processing in Quebec. Ingrid Peignier moderated a panel discussion on Reducing dependence on the U.S. market: what options are available?

CIRANO is proud to have contributed to a day rich in exchanges and ideas, focused on action and collaboration for a more sustainable and resilient biofood system.
