In October 2014, the Pontiac MRC adopted its Agricultural Zone Development Plan (PDZA), whose objective is the sustainable development of the MRC’s agricultural zone.
A follow-up committee, composed of key players in the MRC Pontiac’s agricultural sector, ensures the implementation of the PDZA, and closely monitors recommended actions, such as the organization of agricultural services, succession planning support, and the development of new sectors.
The marketing and processing of products derived from agriculture are also major issues around which the entire MRC Pontiac agricultural community must rally.
