Wild Rose Agricultural Producers Synopsis of Policy Recommendations for Agriculture in Alberta

Agriculture continues to be at the forefront of the economic stability and diversification of Alberta. The development of sound agricultural policy is crucial to the sustainability and growth of this industry. As a strong contributor to the economy, farmers and ranchers from across Alberta must have a voice in the future direction of agricultural policy. Wild Rose Agricultural Producers is the only major farm organization in Alberta that provides the opportunity for diversity of opinion, without the influence of the impact on a specific agricultural commodity in the development of those opinions. This is an important difference between general farm organizations and commodity specific farm organizations. Although agriculture is not necessarily the only factor in “rural development”, it is paramount. The success of rural development is also very important to the health of agriculture. It is for these reasons that Wild Rose Agricultural Producers continues to put forward policy positions that enhance agriculture and rural Alberta as a whole.
