History

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) formed in 1935 as a general farm organization representing farmers and farm families and a coordinating organization for provincial general farm organizations and national commodity groups.

The activities of the Federation include: attempting to harmonize efforts of agricultural producer organizations throughout Canada for the purpose of promoting their common interests through collective action; assisting members and where necessary governments, in forming and promoting agricultural policies to meet changing domestic and international economic conditions; collaborating and co-operating with groups of producers outside Canada in furtherance of this objective; and promoting and advancing acceptance of positive social, economic and environmental conditions of those engaged in agriculture.

A deliberative body composed of member organizations governs the CFA, however frequently its policies are developed beginning with resolutions that are passed by member organizations, which are then brought to the CFA's general assembly for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. A board of directors deliberates additional policy development for the CFA and a subset of this board is assigned responsibility for making organizational decisions.
