Fresh Thinking

Connect, Share and Engage. 

​

At Ag for Life, we are passionate about connecting young Albertans to agriculture and food, and sharing the stories and values of the farmers and ranchers who

grow it. 

 

Our mission is to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of all that agriculture brings to our daily lives and work to keep Alberta growing for generations to come. Youth are the future. For agriculture. Alberta. And the world.

​

For Erica Thew, a fourth-generation farmer on her family’s grain farm near Hussar, Alberta, farming is in her blood. Before she was even born, her rural roots began with her family and their dedication to feeding a hungry world.

Net Zero - Agriculture & the Environment

​

What pathways will lead towards a low-carbon and resilient agriculture sector? We had a tour at Sunterra Greenhouse to learn more about Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and its role in sustainable agriculture.

Careers

​The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) predicts 50,000 agriculture and food jobs will have to be filled in the next few years.

​

So what kind of careers are out there? We interviewed agriculture professionals to learn more about the roles they play in helping feed the world.
