About Reimagine Agriculture:
Reimagine Agriculture is a Canadian non-profit dedicated to creating a compassionate, sustainable, and resilient food system.

Our primary focus is on conventional animal agriculture and food waste.
Reimagine Agriculture is determined to be part of the force that creates transformative change in the food system. Our programming focuses on policy advocacy, knowledge mobilization, and collaborations. We focus on driving effective and tangible outcomes, using evidence-based reasoning and an accessible approach. Our team is a small group of dedicated individuals and friends working together to make strategic and operational decisions for Reimagine Agriculture. Learn more about us at reimagineagriculture.org.
