While you may have read our previous blog post about another performance measurement guide, these two guides are exclusive of each other and differ in many ways. The OMAFRA Measuring Up! guide was developed specifically for economic development practitioners, whereas the new guide was designed for agri-food and agriculture Organizations. While the performance measurement practices are very similar, there are some key differences in the structure and the capacity of economic development organizations and agriculture and agri-food organizations. The new guide was developed in consultation with key agriculture and agri-food organizations. It was designed with their diverse capacities in mind and addresses the diverse lines of business in these organizations.
