Joelle Faulkner, Founder and CEO sat down with the Growing The Future Podcast to talk about investing in, and supporting successful Canadian farms, and how the Area One Partnership model helps farmers scale and improve their operations sustainably.
Investment model offers opportunity for farm expansion
“I ended up with this idea of a true partnership that injects capital into the farm to enable growth while maintaining the land base control with the farmer,” Faulkner says. “The farmer still owns the portion of land he or she can afford, and any profit and capital appreciation that is created by the partnership is shared equitably by the farmer and the investor.”
