USC Canada was founded by Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova in 1945 as the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada.

USC Canada promotes vibrant family farms, strong rural communities, and healthy ecosystems around the world.

With engaged Canadians and partners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, USC supports programs, training, and policies that strengthen biodiversity, food sovereignty, and the rights of those at the heart of resilient food systems; women, indigenous peoples and small-scale farmers.
