Stats Canada reports that 1 in 9 jobs in Canada are related to Agri-Food.

I think the number is much higher based on the following! We admit we did not capture them all! But this gives you an idea of how diverse the needs and opportunities are. See what you might be interested in.

I have combined a number of jobs from various sources to create this list. To find a description of these careers, you can google them or check out the sources, many of which have descriptions. Many of these sources are from the US – but the job descriptions should be aligned with Canada. There is some duplication between categories as there is a need for Buys for example in many of the categories - but they would have different purchasing responsibilities.

It’s a place to start!
