Agriculture in Canada needs entrepreneurs
Another area of the Canadian economy in which it is easy to build a business.
The business opportunities in Canada are not limited to advanced technology. This country also needs to develop more down-to-earth and everyday areas of the economy, such as agriculture. It seems like no one is surprised by a big farm or an apple orchard right now, but Canada desperately needs them.
The country now has to grow more and more plants and animals, not only for domestic use, but also for export. It is one of the world's major producers of wheat, canola, pulses, pork and beef. You could say that little Canada feeds its big neighbor, the United States, which is its main importer. In addition, Canada's population is also growing. The high standard of living in the country allows families to have several children. All these people want to eat, and the state needs food producers — for example, it is ready to attract 30,000 immigrant farmers.
Even more problematic is the changing climate. Because of warming, wildfires are raging in Canada, and some soils are losing their fertility. Expanding farmland won't work indefinitely. We need to grow more livestock and plants in limited areas.
"We need to grow more food on less land and in a volatile climate", — says Tyler McCann, managing director of the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute. The institute released its report June 8. According to it, Canada urgently needs to find new ways to grow agriculture.
This opens the way for foreign entrepreneurs and farmers. Now Canada needs everyone who can help. Fertilizer manufacturers, food technologists, breeders, veterinarians and agronomists have a high chance to immigrate and start successful businesses. This is your chance if you know how to make soils more fertile, increase yields, protect livestock from disease, use greenhouse space more efficiently, or create zero-waste production. The demand for increased productivity in agriculture is only increasing.
