Farms at Work is extremely pleased that the federal Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agrifood has recently released its Report, and has included a specific recommendation for support for new farmers in the next Agricultural Policy Framework:
"Recommendation 18: The Committee recommends that the Government work with stakeholders to support the next generation of farmers by improving farm start-up conditions, succession planning and the transfer of knowledge to help young farmers and beginning farmers start their business." Read the full Standing Committee Report here [1]
Farms at Work, along with other organizations across the country, worked hard last fall to prepare a consensus brief that was presented to the federal government in order to inform and recommend on this initiative. See our joint brief here [2]
We are working for the future of farming every day!
