The Canadian fruit and vegetable sector stands at a crossroads, influenced by shifting markets, chronic labour shortages, evolving technologies, and unprecedented weather events. Yet within these challenges lies opportunity.<\/p>\n

This conference was a pivotal moment for FVGC as the organization completed a comprehensive strategic review designed to strengthen the link between member priorities and national influence.<\/p>\n

Owning Our Future<\/strong> captured that collective commitment. The 2026 Conference called upon growers, partners, and policymakers to work together toward a more resilient, competitive, and forward-looking sector, one that took ownership of its economic strength, environmental stewardship, and critical role in ensuring Canada\u2019s food security.<\/p>\n

Together, we turned reflection into renewal \u2014 ensuring the future of Canada\u2019s fruit and vegetable sector is not just anticipated, but owned by those who grow it.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Information Section” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||100px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lato||||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||15px|” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
