This report presents our recommendations to the Government of Alberta for developing a made-for-Alberta approach for farm mental health, and provides directions for the work that AgKnow is committed to do.
The recommendations derive from the merging research on Canadian farmers, as well as our collective expertise and lived experiences, our engagement with members of the steering committee, and farmers who have endured mental health struggles.

This report captures the key insights from our engagement session, where farmers, researchers, and industry leaders came together to address the mental health challenges faced by Alberta’s agricultural community. Through open discussions and findings backed by research, we identified some of the barriers preventing farmers from seeking support, explored solutions tailored to the realities of farm life, and outlined actionable steps to strengthen mental health resources in rural Alberta.
As a farmer-led initiative, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between producers and meaningful support. Our findings highlight the need for systemic change, expanded access to agriculture-informed mental health services, and stronger community connections.
