Nominations are open for the 2024 Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame
The Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame honours individuals who have advanced Alberta’s agriculture industries, food industries and rural life. Albertans are encouraged to nominate an agricultural leader in their community.
Every two years, up to three individuals who have demonstrated exemplary leadership while making a provincewide impact on their industries are inducted.
Since its inception in 1951, the Hall of Fame has recognized 141 men and women who have made significant contributions to the agriculture and food industry, and to the development and sustainability of rural life in Alberta.
Past recipients have included prolific researchers, visionaries in beef cattle breeding, groundbreakers in zero tillage, innovators in agri-foods and passionate educators who have helped Albertans connect with their local food systems.
The 2022 inductees were Bruce Beattie, Simone Demers-Collins, and Jack Lewis.
Nomination forms and a list of past inductees are available here. Nominations close on May 3. The 2024 Agriculture Hall of Fame inductees will be celebrated at an induction ceremony later this year.
