Strengthening Ontario’s Agri-Food Workforce

  • Our government understands the workforce challenges facing the agri-food sector.
  • That is why our government has partnered with the federal government to invest up to $4 million to support the recruitment and retention of agri-food workers in Ontario.
  • Today’s action supports the goals of Ontario’s Grow Ontario Strategy to increase total agri-food sector employment by 10 per cent by 2032.
  • The Labour Force Management Strategies Initiative will strengthen our agri-food sector by improving its access to and retention of skilled farm workers.
