At AFSC, culture is more than words; it’s the way we work together to make a difference.

We’re a team united by purpose, grounded in community, and driven by the belief that when people feel valued and supported, they can create real impact.

From the relationships we build to the results we deliver, our culture reflects who we are and what we stand for.

Purpose that drives us

We’re proud of our people and the work we do to help build a strong, growing, and diversified agriculture and agri-food industry in Alberta. Every day, our team members make a difference in the lives of producers and communities across the province.

Our shared purpose—working together, we grow and sustain the agriculture industry in Alberta—guides everything we do, no matter your role or location.

People first, always

Our culture starts with care. We value the safety, well-being, and growth of every team member and strive to create a workplace where there is belonging for all.

AFSC is committed to being a diverse and inclusive employer, where everyone is valued, heard, and supported. We believe that when we look after our people by prioritizing their mental health, safety, and success, we achieve great things together.

Voices that shape our culture

We believe the best workplaces are built by the people who work there.

Our team members have an active voice in shaping their experience—through engagement surveys, Town Halls, and participation in our Health & Safety Committees, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council, Culture Committee, and Employee Resource Groups.

Together, these groups help strengthen our culture, build community, support our team members, and create meaningful opportunities for learning, improvement, and connection.

Values that guide how we work

Our values define how we work together. They guide how we show up for each other, our clients, and the agriculture community we serve.

Each value is supported by clear behaviours that bring it to life, shaping the culture we’re proud to build every day. Our values represent what we practice now and where we aspire to grow next.

AFSC Values People are our Foundation: We are successful because of our team members. Clients are our Focus: We are driven to support their success Excellence is out Aspiration: We are determined in our pursuit to improve.
