The Canadian Association of Farm Advisors (CAFA) Inc. is a national not-for-profit, member-funded organization that provides high-quality continuous-learning and networking opportunities for farm advisors to help improve the quality of advice to farm families and businesses. CAFA was created to ensure that farm families and businesses have access to quality, timely business and professional advice to help them better manage and transition their farms.
CAFA believes that no single profession or group has all the knowledge, training, education or techniques to fully address all issues of farm families in business, nor do they have the necessary timely and credible information upon which to base their decisions. CAFA was designed from a holistic model by which farm advisors and farm families can make informed decisions based on the knowledge of the interface of business and family dynamics issues.
CAFA’s mission is to protect farmers and their families by raising the standards of all farm advisors. Farmers benefit by receiving quality advice from advisors who better understand farm business, family and transition issues and who work together in multi-disciplinary teams. This will lead, in turn, to stronger, more competitive, more productive and stable farms.
