Farm Credit Canada commits $2 billion to agri-food innovation

Jun 20, 2025

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) has announced it will invest $2 billion by 2030 to advance innovation in Canadian agriculture and food technologies.

In a recent press release, FCC said it will direct more investments into innovative devices, instrumentation, research and methodologies designed to improve efficiency, productivity and sustainability.

The new investment will come from FCC Capital, a group launched in 2024 that offers companies across the agriculture and food value chain investment funds and direct equity capital distributed from pre-seed stage to growth-driven late-stage companies, said the release.

“Canada’s economic future requires an agriculture and food industry leading the world in innovation and productivity. However, until now, investment dollars have been scarce and have not scaled to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of the sector,” said Justine Hendricks, FCC president and chief executive officer, in the release.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
