project AGRICULTURE launch activity
project AGRICULTURE challenges you to learn about the families, the farms and the people who are raising, growing and producing the world’s food – and to share your perceptions and learning about agriculture in Alberta.
We invite you to launch your learning with this video, produced by Alberta Treasury Branches as a tribute to the diversity of Alberta farmers.

- Public opinion surveys conducted in 2018 for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada found that Canadians have concerns as well as a lack of knowledge and awareness about agriculture.
- The surveys also found that awareness of and familiarity with Canada’s agriculture and food products is generally low, particularly in urban areas.
- Despite this lack of awareness, impressions of Canada’s farmers are overwhelmingly favourable.
