The objective of Agri-Traçabilité Québec is to develop, implement and maintain an information system, allowing it to:

• Limit and eliminate potential crises rapidly by reacting quickly to problems of animal disease and food safety;
• Retrace all identified animals to their farm of origin or agrifood products to their production site, and know their histories, their movements, and their present locations;
• Improve diagnostic and checking capabilities, thus reducing the risks associated with the export and import of livestock and agrifood products.
