New Donation Portal On Farmfoodcaresk.org

Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan partnered with the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation to enable donations to support our work to build public trust in farming and food.

Speak Up Training

For people who work in agriculture, it’s important to be able to communicate about how we produce food in Canada. As farmers, ranchers, industry representatives and researchers, we must be transparent, authentic and relatable, especially when tough questions or inaccurate claims are raised.

Take our Speak Up Training and learn how to have meaningful conversations about agriculture.

Today, less than 3% of Canadians have a direct link to the farm. It’s not surprising that people have so many questions about food and farming.

We are looking for like-minded organizations, associations and businesses to support us in our efforts to build consumer trust and ensure a sustainable future for agriculture.

If you are an individual or family farm who would like to show visible support for the efforts to build public trust in Saskatchewan agriculture and would like to join others who are making a pro-active effort to ensure a sustainable future for our industry, please consider a $1000 Affiliate or $500 Friend Membership.

CanadianFoodFocus.org is a gathering place to tell our Canadian food and farming stories. We explore how food is grown and raised, share recipes and provide useful advice to help Canadians make confident food choices.

Follow us and help us share content such as these articles with consumers.
