Let’s tell the real story of Canadian agriculture, together.
FBC is proud to announce our official partnership with Agriculture (Ag) More Than Ever.
What’s Ag More Than Ever? It’s a national, industry-wide cause made up of over 425 partners and 1,500 agvocates, all dedicated to improving perceptions, changing misperceptions and creating positive dialogue about Canadian ag.
Those of us involved in ag know what a modern, diverse and vital industry we’re in – ag contributes more than $100 billon to the Canadian economy every year and supplies 1 in 8 jobs. As one of the few countries capable of feeding ourselves and contributing to a growing demand for food beyond our border, Canadian ag has both an opportunity and a responsibility to be a positive, global force.
The future of our industry looks bright, but research tells us that while the general public is more interested in the journey from farm to table than ever, they still carry misperceptions of ag as an antiquated industry with little opportunity. We need to tell the real story of Canadian ag so we can attract the people, investment and consumer confidence needed to grow and flourish. And Ag More Than Ever can help.
How Can You Get Involved in Ag?
You’re involvement can start today with a simple commitment to help share positive stories and change the conversation about the industry with friends, family and others.
