About
Governance
The NSFA’s Bylaws, approved by its members, guide the organization’s governance, decision-making, and operations. The most recent version was approved at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
Additionally, the Farm Registration Act outlines the framework for farmer registration and formally recognizes NSFA as a general farm organization. This Act also ensures fair and equitable funding of general farm organizations by farm businesses.
The Council of Leaders
The NSFA’s Bylaws, approved by its members, guide the organization’s governance, decision-making, and operations. The current bylaws were approved by members at a Special Meeting in March 2026 and ratified at the July 2026 Annual General Meeting. The only amendments made were to support the transition to a March 31 fiscal year-end, including establishing an Annual General Meeting focused on financial reporting and accountability, while resolutions and elections continue to be conducted at the General Meeting held later in the fall.
