Inductee Nomination and Selection

Induction into the Atlantic Agricultural Hall of Fame is a way of recognizing the contribution of an individual to the development of a specific commodity, a farm organization, the farm community, or to the enhancement of the agricultural industry in Atlantic Canada.

Eligibility

Farmers, those people involved in farm and rural organizations, business persons, Agrologists and scientists are all eligible for induction.

To be considered, an individual must be nominated by a member rural or agricultural organization.

Selection

Nominations will be accepted until June 1 of each year. A selection committee, established in each province, reviews the nominations and selects an individual to be honoured in that province each year. The remaining nominations will be carried forward for consideration in each of the subsequent five years pending approval of the nominating organization.
