Growing Forward

Best Practices Suite
Agricultural Management Institute

Farm business management encompasses all aspects of the farm - from marketing and production to human resources, financial analysis and lifestyle. The Agricultural Management Institute (AMI) promotes new ways of thinking about farm business management and aims to increase awareness, understanding and adoption of beneficial business management practices by Ontario farmers.

AMI provides funding for projects that develop business management tools, information, resources, and training for farm families, farm managers, and farm business advisors. In addition to funding projects, AMI links producers to the resources that are available and conducts research that can be shared with the industry.
