About IYCA Webinar Series
Agriculture plays a significant role in the Canadian economy. It contributes to economic growth, job creation, exports, and plays a crucial role in addressing food security by ensuring a stable and sufficient food supply. International Community in Canada is increasing, but the representation of International youths in Agriculture is very low. IYCA seeks to help International youths interested in Canadian Agriculture to identify, explore, and assess mentorship and career opportunities by organizing lectures, seminars, and workshops led by experienced and seasoned professionals in the field of agriculture in Canada.

We are looking for professors, researchers, industry experts, & resource persons willing to share their experience with International undergraduate and graduate students to motivate and guide them in exploring careers opportunities in Canadian Agriculture.
