Video: Converting to a Co-operative: Something you maybe hadn’t thought about?

Presented by Fiona Duguid and Josée Charbonneau, Coop Convert

This presentation was part of Farm Transition Appreciation Day January 12, 2021, celebrating farm transition planning at every stage and helping you and your farm team take the next step in farm transition.

Whether you’re thinking about transitioning out of or into farming, one option, generally less known than others, is available to you : the cooperative option. The Conversion to Cooperatives Project is interested in the conversion of Canadian private businesses to cooperatives, as a way to ensure their succession. Our presentation addresses some of the most interesting results found, by focusing more specifically on examples of conversions that may be of use to agricultural current or future entrepreneurs.

Que vous envisagiez de quitter ou de démarrer des activités agricoles, une option, généralement moins connue que d’autres, s’offre à vous: l’option coopérative. Le projet de recherche Conversion en coopératives s'intéresse à la conversion d'entreprises privées Canadiennes en coopératives, comme moyen d'en assurer la relève. Notre présentation aborde certains des résultats obtenus dans le cadre de cette recherche, en se concentrant plus spécifiquement sur des exemples de conversions pouvant être utiles aux entrepreneurs agricoles, actuels ou futurs.
