Agriculture Business Impact Study

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

The Municipality of South Bruce is developing an Agriculture Business Impact Study. This study will identify:

the existing agricultural/agri-business profile of the local area
the potential for the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) Project to change the agriculture/agri-business operations in the area
potential strategies for use of the NWMO lands to facilitate new agri-business entrants
potential strategies, if needed, to address a potential change in the value of the agricultural products.

Leading the study on behalf of the Municipality is MDB Insight, an experienced and respected consulting firm. Their consultants will be involved throughout the development of research and analysis for the Agriculture Business Impact Study, including all stakeholder engagement aspects.

On February 15th, 2022, two workshops were hosted by MDB Insight for agriculture and agribusiness stakeholders to develop a draft vision for agriculture business in South Bruce and the region taking the NWMO Project into consideration.

Questionnaire

A questionnaire with identical questions to the workshops has been prepared and is available to complete in a variety of ways.

If you are involved in agriculture/agri-business but are unable to attend one of the public workshops, you are encouraged to complete the questionnaire to provide feedback into the study.
