The Simpson Centre
The UFA Agricultural Community Foundation proudly supports The Simpson Centre at the University of Calgary, School of Public Policy, with the goal of providing transparent and reliable information about how food is grown, to the public. The work of the organization is driven by connecting researchers, everyday people, industry stakeholders and government to discuss critical issues related to policy and the future of food and agriculture.
UFA ACF believes a key outcome of the research is to make the work available to the public and as such, we direct our funding towards the mobilization of the information, through the Simpson Centre’s Public Education Series.
