“Agriculture Week is an opportunity to celebrate this vital sector, share stories, and recognize farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses who help feed our province, country and the world,” Harrison said.
Each year, the Ministry of Agriculture partners with Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan to bring together the agriculture industry and consumers to share stories, foster understanding and highlight the strength and resilience of the agricultural community.
This year’s theme, #CelebrateAg, encourages everyone to have conversations about where food comes from and the people behind it as Agriculture Week aims to bridge the gap between producers and consumers.
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan plays a significant role in this campaign. Executive director Clinton Monchuk said there is great pride in the people who produce food in this province.
“Each year Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan has the privilege to lead celebrations for this great agriculture industry,” he said. “Ag. Week allows everyone in Saskatchewan the opportunity to think deeper about how the food they enjoy comes to their family’s table.”
Farm and Food Care is hosting a special event in Saskatoon on Tuesday dedicated to connecting agricultural communicators. The event will also include the naming of Farm and Food Care’s 2025 Champion.
Members of the public are encouraged to get involved in Agriculture Week by posting with the hashtag #CelebrateAg, downloading and sharing Ag Week graphics, and taking part in the month-long Farm and Food Care photo contest.
