About the Federation
A farmer-led organization, since 1895
The Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture represents the interests of Nova Scotia's agricultural community. We are the sole general farm organization in the province.
Our mission
To influence and affect change for the continual success of agriculture in Nova Scotia.
Our vision
A prosperous and sustainable future for Nova Scotia farms and farmers.
How we are governed
The Council of Leaders, composed of elected farm members, governs and oversees the organization. Today our members account for well over 90% of all agricultural production in Nova Scotia, and bring together farm businesses representing all aspects of primary agriculture in the province.
We tackle policy issues that impact the competitive and sustainable nature of the industry, and we support registered farms through the delivery of programs and services.
