About

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council was created on September 16, 2006. Led by industry, and funded through the Sector Council Program of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the Council was set up to address the human resource issues facing agriculture businesses across Canada.

The Council’s VISION is a qualified and motivated workforce that is sufficient to sustain profitable agriculture in Canada.

The Council’s MISSION is to research, develop and communicate solutions to human resource issues identified by Canadian primary agriculture.

The Council’s SCOPE represents farming in all its forms: raising traditional and non-traditional livestock; producing, cultivating, growing, harvesting or collecting conventional and non-conventional agriculture commodities; and any practices performed as an integral part of an agricultural operation.

To accomplish its mission and achieve its vision, the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council is working to generate greater awareness amongst the agriculture industries, governments, and education institutions of human resource management issues and best practices–and the Council’s role in addressing these issues. Increasing partnerships with stakeholders as projects are developed and implemented is another important objective of the Council.
