Canada is a leader in agriculture and agri-food, with exports known the world wide and a groundbreaking local food movement. Farming is the very foundation the country was built on, attracting people to the New World for generations. Canadian food products are winning international acclaim and many of our agricultural and environmental programs are helping farmers everywhere, in Canada and abroad.

In 2011, we’re inviting you to come and experience New World agriculture for yourself. Be there as the world’s leading agricultural journalists assemble for the first IFAJ congress in Canada in more than 40 years.

Experience agriculture in the Great Lakes region – one of the most fertile and productive farming regions on Earth
Learn how immigrant farmers – many from the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany – have found prosperity in Canada
See research-driven innovations and cutting-edge agricultural practices and theories in action
Enhance your journalism and communication skills and get access to opinion leaders and decision makers at professional development sessions

Canada is a young nation compared to many other IFAJ member countries. But in our relatively short history, we have developed a pride in our innovations and our accomplishments – both those of our past, and those that are helping define the future of agriculture. Ours and yours.

We hope to welcome you to Canada in 2011 to Experience New World Agriculture!
