About AgEx

AgEx is the only national event in Canada dedicated exclusively to bringing farm management and health and safety thought leaders, experts and enthusiasts together to build our collective capacity for resilience, sustainable growth, and prosperity. What sets AgEx apart is our commitment to interactive learning. We recognize the diversity in learning preferences and practices among our delegates. That’s why our Conference is structured to cater to various learning styles, ensuring that every participant can engage in a manner that resonates with them. Whether you thrive in hands-on workshops, dynamic group discussions, or immersive presentations, AgEx has something tailored for everyone.

This annual Conference serves as an interactive platform for farmers, advisors, academia, organizations, private industry, and government officials to explore emerging trends, share best practices, and foster connections to collectively pave the way for farm management excellence across Canada.

TOGETHER TOWARDS TOMORROW

The 2024 Conference theme, Together Towards Tomorrow, speaks to the importance of leveraging our collective strengths and finding innovative ways to work together to position Canada’s farmers and ranchers for sustainably growth and prosperity for generations to come.

At the heart of Together Towards Tomorrow is the recognition that no single entity, organization, or individual can resolve the complex challenges and take full advantage of opportunities we face alone. It is in this spirit that Farm Management Canada is delighted to welcome the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association and the BC Agriculture Council as co-hosts of AgEx 2024. By joining forces, we aim to further empower farmers, ranchers, and agricultural professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in an ever-changing and increasingly complex business environment.

AgEx will cover a diverse range of farm management and safety topics, including but not limited to:

  • Fostering Economic Resilience and Prosperity
  • Technological Advancements and Digital Transformation
  • Taking Control of On-Farm Risk
  • Utilizing Data Analytics for Farm Decision-Making
  • Navigating Farm Transition Planning
  • Attracting and Retaining Farm Labour
  • Supporting On-Farm Health, Safety and Wellness
  • Climate Adaptation Strategies and Opportunities
  • Emergency Management Preparedness
  • Policy, Politics and Public Perception
  • Sustainable Farming: Balancing People, Profit, Planet

Participants can expect an engaging program designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action-oriented outcomes. Whether you are a seasoned expert, a budding entrepreneur, a policymaker, or an advocate for change, your voice and contributions are essential in shaping our collective journey “Together Towards Tomorrow.”

As a special addition, BC Young Farmers will be hosting their Farm Fest in conjunction with AgEx on Tuesday morning. Are you a young farmer seeking to grow your network and sharpen up your industry knowledge? Join us for a day packed with experiences tailored specifically for you! Farm Fest attendees will join the farm tour participants for lunch and afternoon farm tours before heading to the AgEx welcome reception.
