Canada’s Agriculture Day Events

AdFarm will be hosting its annual Canadian potluck in its Calgary office for staff and thanks to the support from Ag More Than Ever, screening the film "Before the Plate."

Will agriculture be able to meet the challenge of feeding 9.6B people by 2050?
Join us as we look at the changing face of farming, how technologies are revolutionizing agriculture and how society, being ever more disconnected from food production, will influence the tools, such as genetic engineering, farmers use as they work to ensure global food security.

Our speakers, Robert Saik Agrologist and Dr. David Zaruk, will show how technology is impacting agriculture and how society's perception of food production is creating real challenges on the farm.

We invite you to join us as we connect the public to the farming community to discuss the challenge of food production.

This event is hosted jointly by the University of Alberta faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, Red Deer College, and Olds College.

CAMA Alberta will be hosting a movie screening of "Before The Plate" with social/networking prior to the event. An interactive polling session will occur before and after the movie to capture opinions on agriculture and food. Thanks for our sponsors Agriculture More Than Ever, ATB and Bayer CropScience.

A celebration with the Alberta agricultural community, connecting farms, industry leaders and consumers, and sharing their stories.
A gathering of people from a variety of backgrounds in a central location, focused on farmers, food production and great food, to listen and learn from each other- “meeting in the middle” with some consumers.

Farmers and Ranchers work hard all year long to feed our nation. The Feed-a-Farmer Celebrity Cook-off is a chance to turn the table and feed our farmers. This half-day celebration will bring together industry leaders, local influencers, teachers, students, media and Alberta producers to celebrate agriculture.

The Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick (AANB) is launching a province-wide marketing and education campaign on February 12th, in conjunction with Canada’s Agriculture Day. The campaign is called “Why local? Why not?” and in the first phase, it helps people see “What’s in it for me?”.
The goals of this multi-year campaign are:
1. To educate New Brunswickers to become aware of the benefits of local food. We want to create awareness to ultimately have them change their buying and eating habits;
2. To increase the demand for New Brunswick products to ensure that our farms and producers have a reason to produce more - looking at innovative and sustainable ways to make that happen; and
3. To change the perception of farming to ensure more young people are interested in looking at agriculture as a sustainable profession of the future.
The campaign will launch with an official Press Conference at the Fredericton Farmer's Market.

Before the Plate attempts to close the gap in perception between the urban consumer and farming in Canada. Modern consumers are increasingly interested in where and how their food gets to them, but accurate information is hard to come by and often feels out of reach. Before the Plate follows young farmers and industry experts in order to show the general population what a modern Canadian farm operation looks like, and answer the most pressing questions consumers have about their food.

The film will follow food staples of the Canadian diet all the way from the farm to the harvesting and processing operations, and showcase the final product at Canoe, one of Toronto's most prestigious restaurants. The project follows various types of agriculture, including both organic and conventional practices to answer some of the biggest questions related to farming in our society.

Join us for a screening of the film Before the Plate - the questions, the stories and the people behind where our food comes from and how it gets to our plate!

Refreshments and panel discussion to follow!
