For growers, giving back isn’t just an act of kindness; it’s a way of life. From sharing equipment with neighbours to lending a hand at harvest, the spirit of generosity runs deep in Canadian agriculture.
Over the years, this spirit has led to the creation of charitable fields where growers and retailers work together to plant and harvest crops to donate funds to community organizations and rural initiatives.
It’s the same generous spirit that inspires us at BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada, and it’s at the heart of BASF Fields of Purpose. This cornerstone program is designed to support Canadian growers who dedicate their time and land to give back to rural communities.
Charitable fields aren’t just projects. They’re proactive initiatives driven by Canadian growers that support essential programs and services across the country.
All proceeds from the crops grown are donated to support causes that strengthen rural communities across Canada. Growers and retailers choose the initiatives that matter most to them - ranging from local food banks and recreation centers to youth development programs - and work together to bring each project to life.
BASF proudly stands beside them, offering the support they need to extend the positive impact of every acre planted.
Through BASF Fields of Purpose, charitable growing projects are able to enhance their yield and crop quality through product donations. Annually, BASF contributes seed and crop protection products to thousands of acres across Canada.
These donations help growers maximize every acre, improving yield and returns so they can make a greater impact on the communities and organizations they support. From InVigor® hybrid canola seed to Sphaerex® fungicide, BASF provides the products that help drive charitable fields even further.
At its core, BASF Fields of Purpose is designed to help amplify the vital contributions that Canadian growers make in their communities and support the values that exist at the heart of Canadian agriculture: generosity, community and collaboration.
