CFA-FCA | La Fédération canadienne de l’agriculture

 

Who we are:
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) was formed in 1935 as a unified voice to speak on behalf of Canadian farmers. Our work continues today as a farmer-funded, national umbrella organization comprising of provincial general farm organizations and national and interprovincial commodity groups. We represent producers of all commodities, who operate farms of all sizes. Through our members we represent approximately 190,000 Canadian farm families from coast to coast.

What we do:
Our mission is to promote the interests of Canadian agriculture producers, through leadership at the national level, and to ensure the continued development of a trusted, sustainable, and vibrant agriculture sector in Canada.

Our vision is to be the national voice of Canadian producers — committed to enabling their success, which will benefit Canada and the world.

Membership:

Our membership roster includes wide range of producer organizations. Our principal members are:

• Provincial general farm organizations: representing the interests of that province’s agriculture whose membership is open to all farmers in that province, either directly or through other organizations

• National or interprovincial Commodity Organizations: representing a major proportion of that commodity in a region or across Canada
• National or interprovincial producer-owned and controlled cooperatives: those who demonstrate substantial involvement of producers; membership is subject to CFA board approval.

In addition, CFA partners with a vast number of other industry associations, think tanks, academic groups, and private companies on projects that touch many different aspects of the agricultural sector. Companies that connect with CFA on a regular basis are also invited to join our Corporate Leadership Program, which offers unique marketing opportunities in the Canadian farm community.
