Agriculture More Than Ever - it's time to tell the real story

Those of us involved in agriculture are fortunate to be part of a world-class industry.  Agriculture

contributes more than $100 billon to the Canadian economy every year. Our industry is modern,

vibrant and diverse. And, it’s filled with forward-thinking people who love what they do.

 

The truth is that Canadian agriculture has never mattered more to Canada or the world. As the

world's fifth largest exporter of food, Canada is one of few countries capable of contributing to a

growing global demand for food.

 

While the future of our industry looks bright, research tells us that message isn’t understood by

the general public. To attract the people, investment and consumer confidence we need to grow

our industry, we need to tell the real story of Canadian agriculture. 

 

Agriculture More Than Ever is a multi-year industry cause to improve perceptions of agriculture

and                        is proud to be an official partner of the cause.
