Joelle Faulkner featured in Women in Ag’s Quarterly Journal


Joelle Faulkner was recently included as a Woman to Watch in the latest issue of Women in Agribusiness‘ quarterly journal. When asked what advice she’d give for someone following her path, she says:

“Every time you say yes to something, you need to say no to something else, so it is important that you decide what is critical for success. In our case, it was critical to determine how to share value between our farm partners and our investors in a way that creates value so that both parties end up better off than they were without the other. Maintaining that view and partnership structure, however, has not been easy because much of the world operates with the idea that more for me has to be less for you.”

HRM Pension Plan investing in AreaOne Farms

“We are proud to invest in our Canadian farmers through a $15 million investment in Area One Farms. Farmland has shown historical resilience through multiple economic cycles and market disruptions. In addition to potential inflation-hedging characteristics, farmland can improve the overall performance of a portfolio due to its low correlation with traditional financial assets.

Our fund investment in Area One Farms includes 27 farm partnerships, supporting 46 farm families and sustaining 71 full-time jobs. The focus of the fund is to help farmers expand their operations in a stable, committed partnership. Profitability and capital appreciation created by the partnership is a win for both investors and farmers.”
