The Canadian Agro-Sustainability Partnership (CASP) is Canada's largest strategic alliance to mobilize and co-ordinate Canadian interests and expertise in international
sustainable agriculture. CASP is headquartered in Prince Edward
Island and it consists of 45 member organizations from across Canada. These organizations range from agriculture and veterinary universities, to industry groups/associations, to private companies in agricultural production, processing, and equipment manufacture. Additionally, the Government of Prince Edward Island can make available its expert public sector personnel for short-term assignment on CASP projects.
CASP provides comprehensive, "one-stop" capabilities related to international agricultural development needs/opportunities, including
crops, livestock, storage systems, fisheries, aquaculture, agro-processing,
food safety, agro-forestry, and related educational and environmental
considerations.
While CASP is a non-profit organization representing broad-based international
agricultural interests of its private sector and institutional members/stakeholders,
CASP Inc. is a companion umbrella organization to provide investment
and project delivery for selected international agro-industry projects
of a commercial nature. CASP Inc. has a private sector membership
of leading Canadian agricultural and agro-industry companies committed
to commercially and environmentally sustainable agricultural development.
