ABOUT US
One Strong Voice for Farmers
The Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick is the voice of this province's farmers. And it's never been stronger or more unified. That's because in 2006, two groups - the Agriculture Producers' Association and the Federation des agriculteurs et agricultrices francophones du Nouveau Brunswick - merged to form the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick - a grassroots, bilingual organization of farmers working for farmers.

Now, as one strong, dynamic and united voice, the Agricultural Alliance is making a significant difference in the lives of and the prosperity of New Brunswick farmers. In just two short years since its inception, the Alliance has already achieved significant progress on a number of critical issues impacting the industry.

WHO ARE WE?
Farmers Working for Farmers
The Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick is led and run by farmers.Who better to speak out on issues affecting the agriculture industry?

The Agricultural Alliance is steered by a volunteer board of directors comprised of farmers elected by their peers. The board receives its mandate directly from New Brunswick farmers who volunteer on six regional councils that represent all areas of the province as well as the full range of agri-food commodities. Their efforts are buoyed by a team of five professional staffers who work on your behalf at the Agricultural Alliance's Fredericton-based office.
