Food and Agri-Business

The Food and Agri-Business sectors face new opportunities and challenges as international trade pressures, market integration and rationalization continue apace. New technologies such as nutragenomics, biotechnology and natural health products present opportunities to meet public demands for innovative and affordable products. At the same time, consumers, advocacy groups and governments put industry under increased scrutiny related to issues such as product health and safety, corporate social responsibility and shareholder returns.

Global’s Food and Agri-Business team has more than 85 years of combined experience to help clients from every part of the supply chain manage their public affairs issues with governments and stakeholders. These issues include:

• Modernization of regulatory regimes and management of regulatory issues
• Increasing stakeholder pressures for Government actions at the International, Federal, Provincial and Municipal levels
• Consolidation of the processing and retail sectors
• Health and safety issues related to products and processes

Global’s Food and Agri-Business team has unparalleled expertise and appreciation of the legal, regulatory and public affairs environments impacting the industry at all levels of Government. We thoroughly understand the appropriate roles of politicians, public servants, allies and the media in moving an issue towards success.
