he Growing Forward Framework Agreement (GFFA) laid the groundwork for coordinated federal-provincial-territorial (FPT) action over five years (2008 to 2012) to help Canadian agriculture become more prosperous, competitive, and innovative. Canada and OECD countries have reduced their agricultural subsidies and replaced the most distorting support policies in PSEs for less distorting ones, during years 1986-2011. The GFFA has set as its main objective to help Canadian agriculture become more prosperous, competitive, and innovative. Analyzed indicators suggest that there has been progress in this direction. To persevere in it Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is already preparing ?Growing Forward 2? for years 2013-2018.
