À cet égard, les coopératives sont un outil pour trouver des solutions innovatrices, par exemple, dans le secteur de l'énergie verte, du transport écologique et de l'agriculture biologique ainsi que dans celui du tourisme et des ressources naturelles. Par le truchement de l'Initiative de développement coopératif (IDC), AAC facilite la création de coopératives.

Secondly, the department facilitates the development of co-operatives as an effective tool to engage Canadians and their communities in addressing their economic and social challenges. Co-operatives have a long track record in many sectors where they have helped address needs of people that traditional businesses do not. New and evolving needs of communities include concerns for the environment and their sustainable development; in these areas co-operatives have been used as a tool to find innovative solution, for example, in green energy, green transportation and organic agriculture, as well as tourism and natural resources. AAFC, through the Co-operative Development Initiative (CDI), is facilitating the development of co-operatives.
