The National Farmers Union (NFU) is a direct-membership voluntary organization comprised of Canadian farm families who share common goals. As the only farm organization incorporated through an Act of Parliament, the NFU advocates for the interests of farmers against corporate control of the food system. Their mission is to maintain the family farm as the primary food-producing unit in Canada by developing economic and social policies that support sustainable agriculture.

The NFU offers various services and benefits to its members, including Service Plus, a membership program that provides additional perks. They also organize events like the NFUniversity 2023 Convention to facilitate knowledge-sharing and networking among farmers. The NFU focuses on important issues such as climate change, food sovereignty, and grain marketing.

Through their campaigns and policy work, they aim to create strong communities, sound policies, and sustainable farms for a thriving agricultural sector
