Constitué de représentants de toutes les composantes de la chaîne de valeur du secteur agroalimentaire, le Conseil joue le rôle de catalyseur pour le secteur agroalimentaire albertain : élargir la part que détient l'Alberta sur les marchés mondiaux des produits alimentaires et agricoles et de l'agrinégoce; améliorer la gestion des ressources et de l'environnement; élargir les horizons, les compétences et la qualité de vie des membres du secteur.
