Farmwork to Feed Canada (F2FC) is a volunteer effort by Canadian communications, public relations and marketing professionals, and recent graduates in communications and public relations. We are committed to national service through collaboration with Canadian farmers and the agri-business sector to address COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges to Canada’s food supply. As skilled and experienced skilled communicators, we offer farmers, farm groups, and the food industry expert communications support and a network and forum for the exchange of information and ideas to engage and inform Canadians on key issues from food to plate to farm labour.
We have three objectives:
1. Grow a national network of communications volunteers who collaborate with the agriculture, agri-business sector and government.
2. Foster greater public awareness, understanding, and support for agriculture and agribusiness through interactive channels that provide a forum to inform and engage and educate Canadians on COVID-19 pandemic-related issues.
3. Support stakeholder efforts to increase the numbers of essential, skilled workers on farms and agri-food businesses.
