Join us to celebrate and encourage Canadian producers on their farm transition journey!
The next Farm Transition Appreciation Day (FTADay) is January 10, 2023.
Over the next 10 years, 75% of farms across Canada will change hands.
FTADay was created to encourage and celebrate the progress Canada’s farmers are making to secure the future of farming in Canada. It is a groundswell movement to motivate farmers to start, restart and keep going with farm succession through inspirational stories shared on social media and live events. And, the one day of the year when we can come together to help farmers through their farm transition journey.
The New Year is the perfect time to celebrate our successes and take action to keep farms healthy for generations to come.
What can you do to support FTADay?
Please include this day in your planning.
Farmers, industry organizations and agribusinesses across the country are encouraged to:
Share your farm transition success stories, tips, resources and tools through your websites, social media, industry publications and other communication channels
Help amplify these stories and how families are transferring their farms to the next generation – strategically building, planning and supporting each other through change.
Use #FTADay2023 to be part of the conversation!
