Farm Credit Canada (FCC) has convened a coalition of more than 20 investment organizations collectively prepared to deploy up to $5 billion into Canadian agriculture and food innovation by 2030. This milestone reflects a generational investment opportunity in Canada’s agriculture and food sector.
This new coalition pledge builds on the momentum of the May 2025 commitment by FCC’s investment arm, FCC Capital, which pledged $2 billion by 2030 to drive innovation across the agriculture and food industry. As part of this commitment, FCC Capital is already on track to deploy $325 million in new capital during its fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. With the pledge announced on February 10, 2026, combined with FCC’s commitment in May 2025, this represents $7 billion of new investment into Canadian agriculture and food by 2030.
These commitments will bring new innovation to Canadian farmers through investments in innovative Canadian businesses, construction and project finance opportunities, and early-stage ag-tech companies.
This announcement marks a major step in expanding Canada’s capacity to scale world‑leading agriculture and food innovation. In 2021, total estimated investment in agricultural innovation stood at $270 million annually according to RBC Thought Leadership. Today’s coalition helps position Canada to dramatically increase this figure and accelerate commercialization of breakthrough technologies and productivity across the entire value chain.
