Candace Mitschke is a professional agrologist with a diverse background in agriculture, communications and project development.
Growing up on a grain and dairy farm, she has been immersed in farming from day one, fueling her passion for advocating for agricultural stewardship practices, and for inspiring the next generation to know where their food comes from.
As the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association (SaskFSA), Candace represents the farmers’ voice in discussions surrounding land and water management policies, working closely with regulators and government officials to implement practical solutions at the farm level. Candace is also the project lead of the newly formed SK Drainage Extension Network (SK DEN). A network designed to foster collaboration, to share and build knowledge on innovative water management practices in Saskatchewan to support soil health, resilient crop production and healthy working landscapes.
Candace works with SaskFSA not because policy is easy, but because she believes in the mandate of the organization, and that SK farmers have an important job of growing safe and reliable food.
