VIDEO: Canada's $20 Billion Springtime Agricultural Megaproject You Haven't Heard Of

Video Script:

Imagine a $20‑billion megaproject in Canada with no ribbon cutting, no press conference – and yet it feeds a nation every single year.

Every spring, tens of thousands of Canadian farmers deploy billions of dollars in seed, fertilizer, fuel and machinery – all within a few short weeks – to plant the crops that will carry us through the year.

That spring investment underpins an entire food system worth roughly $150 billion to Canada’s economy and supports more than two million jobs – yet it happens quietly, under the radar for most Canadians.

We depend on its success, but often lose sight of where all the food that stocks our grocery stores comes from.

Next time you sit down to eat, remember the biggest megaproject you never saw, and thank a farmer for the food that not only feeds our families, but fuels our national prosperity.
