Supporting Farming for Health, Canada

Since 2014, our team in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada, has partnered with The Health Foundation on the ‘Farming for Health‘ initiative, for which committee members have pooled their resources and expertise to grow and harvest crops on land donated to the project, the sale of which generates funds for better local healthcare.

As a founding member of the committee, LDC has helped to raise over US$2 million overall, toward building a new hospital in the region and upgrading equipment for the existing health facility.

“We are fortunate to have a knowledgeable group of volunteers for every aspect of successfully growing a crop. This project benefits everyone in the local community – including our employees and business partners – and a new hospital helps attract and keep more people in the region.”
