By 2030, global demand for sustainable food production, digital transformation, and climate resilience will redefine how nations feed their people and power their economies. 

For Canada, this moment represents an unparalleled opportunity — to lead in agritech innovation, invest in youth and workforce development, and build inclusive, climate-smart food systems that can sustain generations to come.

As one of the fastest-growing national movements driving the future of food and agriculture, FOOD FORWARD brings together innovators, farmers, technologists, policymakers, and youth leaders to shape Canada’s food systems transformation.

Now is the time to act boldly — to connect local action with global leadership, harness emerging technologies responsibly, and center people and equity in every innovation.

FOOD FORWARD is a collective call to action.

As we look ahead to FOOD FORWARD 2026 in Toronto, Ontario, 

our goal is clear:
to build on this momentum, deepen collaborations, and scale solutions that empower communities, strengthen food security, enhance regional and international agri-food trade linkages, and unlock the next generation of food systems leadership in Canada and beyond.

Explore our impact, watch the highlights, and join us in shaping what’s next.
Together, we are not just moving forward — we are growing forward.
