3 Message from the President At Olds College we believe that agriculture is a key industry to our country s success. It is served by a breadth of disciplines and Olds College has an important role to play in advancing the education, skills development and innovation required. This is consistent with our provincial mandate and is supported by our social purpose for being a College focused on agriculture and related fields within the Province of Alberta. Our strategic plan articulates that purpose and the drivers that will enable our focus toward it. For over a century Olds College has been an institution where lifelong learners have come to learn about the latest technology and practice. We began as an education institution and demonstration farm where technology and production practices were tried and exhibited for an industry that needed to become more efficient and competitive. Today, Olds College remains an education institution that uses its 2,000 acres and field to fork enterprise to support hands-on learning and applied research. Through the proliferation of technology, big data and the application of tools such as digital sensors, controls, artificial intelligence and machine learning, we believe that our post-secondary environment can be an aggregator of knowledge, expertise and communities for teaching and learning, skills development and applied research. We will accomplish this by establishing a leading demonstration farm and learning environment, focused on the future of agriculture. The strategic drivers in our plan provide the College with a clear path forward to do this. During the development of our strategic plan, internal and external stakeholders were consulted. Each strategic driver was created to align and support Alberta s Adult Learning System Principles. Olds College will continue to grow its programming and applied research environments in support of what industry requires today and in the future. By doing so we are ensuring that our learning environments and programming support the development of a highly skilled and relevant workforce for Alberta and Canada. We will coordinate with our community, industry partners and Campus Alberta to enhance access to education and training opportunities for our students and lifelong learners. We will do so while focusing on academic excellence and innovation in order to ensure quality of instruction and affordability for all potential students across our Province. Olds College is growing. We are growing our programming, applied research and partnerships to create an innovative learning environment centered around collaboration between our students, lifelong learners and the agriculture and technology industries. I invite you to join us on the path to growing Olds College. Stuart Cullum, President Olds College 4 Olds College 5
4 Our Social Purpose: "Transforming agriculture for a better world" At Olds College this is our social purpose. Everything we do at Olds College is done to advance all aspects of the agriculture industry. By transforming the agriculture industry, we will make the world a better place. All of our programs and actions align to our social purpose. It is the why behind everything we do. ag ri cul ture: the science, art or practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, and raising livestock and in various degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products. Agriculture (2018 Definition). Retrieved from 6 Olds College 7
5 Landscape and Destination for 2025 At Olds College we recognize that the world is changing. Global demand for food production is increasing as populations around the world continue to grow. The United Nations estimates that the world needs to produce at least 50% more food to feed 9 billion people by Canada is the fifth largest exporter of agricultural and agri-food products. According to the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, Canada exports $56 billion a year in agricultural and agrifood products. Approximately half of everything we produce is exported as either primary commodities or processed food and beverage products. In Alberta, the agriculture industry is the third largest exporter of agri-food products in Canada. As Alberta looks to diversify our economy from the highs and lows of the energy sector, there is increased focus to support and develop the agriculture industry. This growth will be supported by the growing labour force, as a result of the population projection that Alberta will see. The Government of Alberta projects we will add close to 1.8 million residents over the next 25 years, 47% will be from international migration. Global market demand for agriculture and related products and services is increasing. With this increased demand comes the requirement for the agriculture industry to produce more food using less resources. To do this, we must be part of the solution to develop practices that optimize technology and science to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural production. We see a world that is benefitting from our innovations. A world that is focused on sharing knowledge on new agriculture practices and technology to end hunger and achieve food security for all countries. A world that is working together to promote sustainable agriculture. We see an agriculture industry that can compete on a global scale. An industry that is known for sustainable management of resources and innovative production that allows us to produce more, using less. We see an economy in Alberta that is better leveraging its agriculture industry. An industry that will generate dynamic new opportunities for our workforce as value-added jobs are created and stay right here in Alberta; employing more Albertans and creating enhanced productivity. We see a student experience at Olds College that is uniquely our own: an experience that is hands on with 21st century technology. A student experience that provides lifelong learners with access to the latest technology and ideas. The College must continue to develop and push into the world of agriculture technology and smart agriculture practices. The Olds College Strategic Plan provides the roadmap for us to clearly see our path forward and continue to be a leader in the agriculture sector. We will continue to be connected to the family farm and industry, but in a 21st century way. Our strategy is ambitious. We recognize the need for the College to stay relevant. To respond to new technology, global demand, growing populations and the needs of our students and lifelong learners. We know that in order to be successful we must grow, and continue to evolve in a way that supports our province, our economy, and our learners. We know that by working together, we can transform agriculture for a better world. 3 rd 50% $56,000,000, ,800,000 Food production must increase by at least 50% to feed 9 billion people by 2050 Canada exports $56 billion per year in agricultural and agri-food products Alberta agriculture industry is the third largest exporter of agri-food products in Canada Alberta is projected to add close to 1.8 million residents in 25 years, 47% from international migration 8 Olds College 9
