Farm Credit Canada says a new organization that it has helped support, one meant to get Indigenous peoples involved in the agriculture and food business, has been officially launched.

A pipe ceremony held June 10 at the First Nations University of Canada in Regina marked the start of the National Circle for Indigenous Agriculture and Food.

FCC says the new organization is based on three pillars, including reconciliation, business development and capacity building.
