About Ag for Life
Together, they are growing a better public understanding of the role of agriculture in Alberta’s culture and economy.
Agriculture is critical to every aspect of life, whether you are a city-dweller, a canola-grower, rancher, or tend to a backyard garden. It is the foundation of Alberta’s society and economy, feeding over 7 billion people and providing jobs for millions of Canadians.
Since 2011, Agriculture for Life (Ag for Life) has played a vital role in educating Albertans about agriculture, food, farming and safety and the pivotal role it plays in our lives.
Through close collaboration with stakeholders, Ag for Life will develop, expand and offer curriculum-based educational programming that will serve to improve farm safety and to build a genuine understanding and appreciation for the role agriculture plays in society, the environment and the economy.
