"At the Future of Food event held on Canada's Ag Day, federal agriculture minister Heath MacDonald announced a new coalition of over 20 organizations pledging a combined $5 billion earmarked for investment and growth of Canadian agriculture and food innovation by 2030. Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is leading the coalition, a milestone reflecting "a generational investment opportunity in Canada's agriculture and food sector.""
"As part of this commitment, FCC Capital is on track to deploy $325 million in new capital during its fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. With the pledge announced today, combined with FCC's commitment in May 2025, this represents $7 billion of new investment into Canadian agriculture and food by 2030. These commitments will bring new innovation to Canadian farmers through investments in innovative Canadian businesses, construction and project finance opportunities, and early-stage ag-tech companies, says FCC."
""Canada's farmers, producers, and processors are already among the most innovative and entrepreneurial in the world," says Darren Baccus, executive vice-president, Agri-Food, Alliances and FCC Capital. By bringing this coalition together, we're crowding in the capital needed to scale breakthrough solutions and deliver the next generation of innovation directly to Canadian producers.""
