What are the 3 most important policies you think are the most

Exercise 1
![Page 6: Darren Stott Greenchain Consulting Tabitha McLoughlin Executive Director, Coquitlam Farmers’ Market David J. Connell, PhD MBA University of Northern British.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dc85503460f94abe979/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Results of recent studies show significant growth

markets• More money being spent by shoppers
at farmers’ markets
![Page 7: Darren Stott Greenchain Consulting Tabitha McLoughlin Executive Director, Coquitlam Farmers’ Market David J. Connell, PhD MBA University of Northern British.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dc85503460f94abe979/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
However……
• More competition• More savvy shoppers• More impact on businesses and
community• More opportunities• More challenges

Therefore Strategic Planning is vital for growing markets
• The aim is to actively decide on a desirable path of development–A “development path” refers to typical
patterns of growth for a farmers’ market and the steps associated with this pattern of growth
• Mission, vision, goals, and objectives
![Page 9: Darren Stott Greenchain Consulting Tabitha McLoughlin Executive Director, Coquitlam Farmers’ Market David J. Connell, PhD MBA University of Northern British.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dc85503460f94abe979/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The core business of farmers’ markets is to ‘profit’ by bringing
farmers and shoppers together in a unique setting.
