Event Description

Welcome to the first VIRTUAL Ag & Food HR Roundtable from AgCareers.com. The Ag & Food HR Roundtable is a one-of-a-kind event for human resource professionals, university/college career services and faculty, and association representatives within agriculture and food. This is the 18th year AgCareers.com has held the Ag & Food Roundtable.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are preparing for our very first virtual Roundtable event with topics around agricultural recruitment and retention in a pandemic and post-pandemic world.

While we can’t be together in-person, AgCareers.com plans to bring some normalcy to the situation by providing quality educational content plus networking and connection opportunities.

We will be offering a virtual day-long live program, but also a series of on-demand content that can be accessed at anytime as well as scheduled Table Topic networking sessions the following day. Your registration to the event gets you access to all of these components as well as other supporting resources before and after the event!

This program will be submitted for recertification credits through SHRM and HRCI.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 5 and plan to join us for a look into what the new normal will look like for student and professional recruitment and workforce management in the agriculture and food industry.

*Plan ahead and SAVE! We hope to see you all in person at the 2021 AgCareers.com Ag & Food HR Roundtable, August 3 – 5, 2021 in Omaha, NE. Special registration offer included -- get this year's virtual event for just $75.

Sharing Your Story, Growing Our Reach

Alberta Canola has been hard at work championing growers, strengthening agriculture literacy, and building connections across the province. Here’s what we’ve been up to and what’s ahead. STAMPEDE SEASON: SADDLED UP FOR ANOTHER YEAR With the Calgary Stampede fast approaching, July 3 to 12, 2026, our team is gearing up to welcome thousands of visitors to our now two-year-old interactive booth in the AltaLink Hall. This walkthrough exhibit continues to be a favourite among families, food lovers, and international guests, offering a hands-on, friendly space to explore canola’s journey from seed to table. Calgary Stampede remains one of our strongest platforms for meaningful conversation. Visitors are eager to understand how their food is grown, and they’re often surprised and impressed to hear directly from Alberta growers. In an age of swirling misinformation, your stories matter more than ever. By meeting people with empathy and clear, simple facts, we can counter myths while building

New Research Funding for 2025-2026

As the 2026-27 call for research Letters of Intent are well underway, Alberta Canola wraps up signing agreements from the 2025-26 cycle.

The 10 disease projects include clubroot, verticillium, and sclerotinia with an emphasis on genetic and agronomic advancements. Additional high level research priorities including abiotic stresses, weeds, nutri

Hello Canola: Growing Momentum, Growing Connections

As another growing season begins, Alberta Canola is excited to share how the National Canola Marketing Program (NCMP) is continuing to build nationwide consumer trust, one upbeat touchpoint at a time. Now in Year 3, the Hello Canola campaign is stronger than ever, connecting with urban millennial Canadians and shining a bright spotlight on one of Canada’s most important crops. WHY THIS CAMPAIGN MATTERS FOR GROWERS Hello Canola isn’t just a fun, friendly marketing effort, it’s a strategic investment in long-term consumer confidence. By meeting Canadians where they spend their time and speaking in the language and formats they prefer, this campaign helps shift public perception from “I’ve heard of canola” to “I’m proud to choose Canadian canola.” Every positive impression contributes to stronger trust in the crop you grow, strengthens our domestic market, and boosts long term demand.
