We believe in the collective power of farmers.
The National Farmers Union - Ontario believes that farmers possess more power to shape agricultural policies, advocate for economic and social policies, and create a stronger and more sustainable farming community, when they work together. Today, as farmers face the realities of climate change and rising input costs paired with shrinking production values, the need for a collective and unified voice has never been more crucial.
Driven by an unwavering commitment to farmers, eaters, and the earth, the NFU-O is deeply rooted in the principles of social and economic justice, within Ontario, Canada and on a global scale.
The National Farmers Union - Ontario is proud of our legacy of legislative and social wins for farmers in Ontario. Ontario boasts some of Canada’s richest and most fertile farmland and the NFU-O’s dedicated staff team & Regional Council work hard to educate and advocate for the interests and needs of farmers, ensuring a vibrant and sustainable agricultural future for the province.
"I joined the NFU-O to connect with other farmers working toward similar goals across the country."

Our Partners & Allies
Our vision is for small- and medium-sized farms to be the primary producers in Ontario, and for agriculture to enrich soils, create biodiverse natural ecosystems, support climate resilient, financially-viable farms, and provide local communities with healthy, safe food and farm products.
