OFA set to host annual regional meetings across Ontario

OFA’s 2023 regional meeting season is nearly upon us. For the next three months, meetings will be held across the province, engaging our members in discussions about the highest priority issues, unique opportunities to get involved.

On the fence about attending? Here are three reasons why we welcome OFA members to get involved and attend these meetings:

Learn more about your local Federation – Find out about the various activities, events and programs your Federation is involved in to help promote agriculture in your local community.  Meet your local provincial director and member service representative for OFA updates.

Bring your voice – Regional meetings offer an open space for members to bring forward questions, concerns, issues and priorities to your local Federation leadership and to the OFA.

Vote for leadership and representation – Eligible voting members will elect local representatives for positions at the OFA Policy Advisory Council, and as delegates to the 2023 Annual General Meeting, November 21-22, Toronto.

As a grassroots organization, we value the input of our members. With a unified voice, our local Federations and provincial OFA will continue to help us make a difference in growing, supporting and shaping Ontario’s dynamic agriculture industry.

Video: How sustainable is Canadian agriculture at producing cereals, pulses & oilseeds?

Canadians have continued to move further and further away from food production. We can see this in our expanding urban centers and less individuals growing the food we consume. This has led to more discussions about consuming food that is more sustainable. Not only sustainable environmentally, but also economically and socially. The Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan, was tasked in 2022 with understanding agriculture’s contributions to improved sustainable outcomes. As a part of this, GIFS has examined the carbon footprint of agricultural production in Saskatchewan and Canada and compared that to other producers across the globe. Dr. Steven Webb, who is the CEO of the Global Institute for Food Security in Saskatoon SK walks through how we’re doing growing cereals, pulses and oilseeds based on the latest research.
