Scale up Grow-A-Farmer Program for new entrepreneurs and farm businesses in the prairies
Growing New Farmers and Farm Businesses in B.C. through Training & Mentorship
This project aims to support new entrants into the agriculture sector. Young Agrarians (YA) has a deep understanding of new and young farmers. Since 2012, it has developed a ‘Grow-a-Farmer’ strategy, and a suite of programs that provide access to land, business mentorship, on-farm training, e-learning, educational events, resources and referral networks. YA programs attract new entrants from diverse backgrounds to build leadership and capacity on the ground, while addressing labour market challenges, training needs, and providing business start-up supports.
This project aims to help Canada meet its need to attract a new generation of farmers. Access to knowledge and training is a key barrier to entering farming. Young Agrarians “Conditions for Growth” project addresses this gap with on-farm training and online education to provide entry-level skill-building and knowledge transfer opportunities for new farmers and under-represented and marginalized groups. This project will promote agriculture as a career, enable sector participation and build knowledge and leadership.
Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.
