Embracing Opportunities

Technology, new business practices and new consumer demands are changing the face of our industry and have opened the door to new possibilities. We are here to explore those possibilities and the many program, tools and initiatives available to help producers realize them.

While the industry has changed over the past 40 years, Alberta’s farmers and producers have shown time and time again their resilience. It’s this character and their ability to see things through that makes me so supremely confident in our producers’ ability to embrace the opportunities and changes before us.

When it comes to growing our product, we are second to none . . . but future success will depend on embracing more astute business practices. Our products are here at home and halfway around the world. While this means greater opportunities, it also means competition; thinking and acting as a producer is no longer enough.
