Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture

Do you know a woman who is leading the charge and making a difference to the future of agriculture in Canada?

Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture (IWCA) is a recognition program created to help identify and promote women across the diverse industry of agriculture. Whether actively farming, providing agronomy or animal health services to farm operations, or leading research, marketing or sales teams, we want to honour six women who are driving the future of Canadian agriculture.

Our goal is to spotlight these chosen influential women, and share their stories, achievements, challenges and wisdom with the industry through our agricultural brands: Top Crop Manager, Potatoes in Canada, Canadian Poultry, Manure Manager and Fruit & Vegetable.
