  • Our mission is to influence and affect change for the continual success of agriculture in Nova Scotia.

    Our vision is a prosperous and sustainable future for Nova Scotia farms and farmers.

    We review all legislative and regulatory issues that impact the competitiveness and sustainability of the agricultural sector. We also lobby to the government for changes to existing legislation, regulation, and policy.

    In addition to advoting on behalf of all farmers in Nova Scotia, we also develop and deliver programs and services to meet the needs of the farm community.
