Joelle Faulkner, founder and CEO of Area One Farms joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss how her business is working to help Canadian farm families grow. She is also one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 honourees.
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.”
