Nominate someone for the Yukon Agriculture Award

The Yukon Agriculture Award acknowledged agri-food producers and people who have done a lot for the Yukon’s agriculture.

Award retired

We’ve handed out the Yukon Agriculture Award from 1999 to 2022. As of 2023, we’ve retired this award.

We’re working with the Yukon Agriculture Association on a new way to recognize farmers and food producers.

We’ll announce details on the new award in the fall of 2023.
