Since 1993, AgriBiz has been a trusted partner to the agriculture and food industries, bringing leadership, expertise, and a deep, experience-based understanding of the sector.
The Real Buzz
For over three decades, our work has been shaped by long-standing collaborations across North America, giving us an informed perspective on the people, organizations, and opportunities that drive this industry forward.
AgriBiz focuses on the services where our experience delivers the greatest impact—select project-management contracts and specialized media-training workshops. These offerings reflect our commitment to practical results, seasoned guidance, and insight that comes only from decades of hands-on work in agriculture and food.
A defining strength of AgriBiz has always been our ability to connect. With an established network spanning coast to coast, we excel at identifying the right partners and bringing them together to advance meaningful initiatives. This connector role remains central to the value we provide.
This evolution allows AgriBiz to champion purposeful, high-impact work while supporting strong, collaborative communities across the agriculture and food sectors.
Media Training with Industry Insight
The media is one of the most powerful influences on public understanding—and your organization’s reputation. For executives, spokespeople, and board members, strong media skills are essential. With the right preparation, on-camera interviews and media inquiries shift from high-pressure moments to strategic opportunities.
Our training equips leaders to understand how media works, deliver clear messages, handle tough questions, and stay in control. With more than 50 years of combined experience in media and executive communications, we help organizations speak with clarity, credibility, and impact.
Mastering the Media Moment
Our award-winning facilitators bring a unique mix of editorial and industry expertise, including a former CTV Saskatchewan Agriculture News Director with decades of on-camera and behind-the-scenes experience. Paired with more than 30 years supporting Canada’s agriculture and food sectors, this insider knowledge ensures practical, industry-relevant coaching.
Our interactive sessions help leaders across industry, academia, government, and corporate organizations deliver clear, confident, and credible messages in high-stakes media environments.
In partnership with Hursh Consulting and Communications, AgriBiz offers full-day, half-day, and customized semi-private workshops to strengthen interview skills and elevate on-camera presence.
Let’s explore how your team can benefit from this award-winning, industry-informed training.
The AgriBiz Advantage: Industry Connections
AgriBiz pioneered farm and ranch tours in the early 1990s, creating opportunities for producers and organizations to share their knowledge and stories directly. Since then, we have managed countless conferences, conventions, and workshops across Canada, continually expanding our relationships across the food chain, from coast to coast.
Whether you need insight, collaboration, outreach, or storytelling support, we can connect you with the right farmer, rancher, processor, chef, food influencer, academia or industry organization to strengthen your message or deepen your understanding of the agriculture and food sectors.
Our strongest assets—and what truly set us apart—are the relationships, expertise, and reputation we have cultivated over more than 30 years.
Proven Relationships. Powerful Connections
