Introducing AgTalk: The Do More Agriculture Foundation Launches New Peer Support Platform

he Do More Agriculture Foundation (Do More Ag) is thrilled to announce the launch of AgTalk powered by Togetherall. The peer support platform  will be accessible across the entire Canadian agriculture industry. The platform provides a safe and anonymous space where anyone 16+ can connect, share, and receive support from a community of peers who relate to their unique experiences. With 24/7 bilingual clinical moderation, AgTalk, powered by Togetherall, ensures a secure environment for open discussions on mental health. 

It can be challenging to acknowledge and seek support for mental health needs. With these challenges in mind, BASF, RBC, and McCain Foundation have come together to support the foundation in launching AgTalk to address the specific mental health needs of Canadian producers.

“BASF is thrilled to support the development and launch of AgTalk as part of Do More Ag’s continued efforts to provide mental health support to Canadian farmers,” said Jonathan Sweat, Vice President at BASF Canada Agricultural Solutions. “Supporting farmers extends beyond the field. It’s important to BASF that we’re supporting farmers – and those who work in the agricultural industry – in meaningful ways, including through resources that facilitate connection, dialogue and support in areas that matter like this.”

AgTalk serves as a valuable resource that acknowledges and provides support through various stages of one's mental health journey.
