Join us for the NFU-O AGM and Region 3 Convention
National Farmers Union – Ontario Newsletter
The Rural Voice | February 2020
Join us February 25-26, 2020 at the First Unitarian Church of Hamilton, 170 Dundurn St. South, Hamilton for the NFU-O’ s annual convention and AGM. This year, we’re digging into the farm income and climate crises. This fall, the NFU released Tackling the Farm Crisis and the Climate Crisis, which examines in depth the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Canada, as well as the opportunities that agriculture provides to become part of the solution and calls for incentivizing low-input, low-emission agricultural approaches.
Members of the Climate Leadership Project Committee will present details from the report, and in the afternoon, we will hear from organizations who are working with farmers to incentivize and finance climate-friendly farming projects.
We will also hear reports from the NFU-O Board, hold elections, and host debates on policy resolutions.
