Organization Background
The Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture (NSFA) was established in 1895 and is a general farm organization incorporated under the Federations of Agriculture Act. The NSFA represents farms and farmers who vary in region, size, commodities, production methods, income levels, and demographics. The membership of the NSFA is a voluntary enrollment and consists of nearly 2,000 registered farms. The NSFA is governed by a 12-person Council of Leaders (Council) elected from the membership. Representing over 90% of primary agriculture production and bringing together registered farms, industry stakeholders, and government partners, the NSFA supports farm families and businesses through advocacy efforts and the delivery of programs and services.
