Rewiring for Consulting: Specializing + Narrowing Skillset

Consulting in the agri-food and bioproduct industries is a valuable career path at any stage of your journey. As an executive search firm specializing in agriculture recruiting, we provide human capital consulting services nationwide, connecting Canadian agriculture professionals with opportunities where their expertise has the greatest impact.

When considering consulting in the agri-food or bioproduct industry, timing matters. Many professionals find it most rewarding to move into consulting later in their agriculture career, when their skills are well-established and their networks are strong. This transition allows you to share your expertise without limiting future opportunities. Ideal times to explore consulting positions in agriculture include when you are seeking better work-life balance, when your specialized expertise is in high demand, or as you approach the later stages of your agri-food career before retirement. Each of these moments offers the chance to turn your agricultural knowledge into a meaningful consulting practice.

Consulting in agriculture is more than a career, it’s an opportunity to influence people and strengthen the industry. Successful consultants position themselves as subject matter experts and build strong networks of Canadian agriculture professionals. These connections are the foundation for executive search management, agriculture recruiting, and human capital consulting, the areas where your impact will be most visible.

Experienced professionals across the agri-food and bioproduct industries, from farm leaders to agri-food recruiters, are particularly well-suited to consulting. Once you have developed expertise and built relationships within Canadian agriculture, you may be ready to transition into consulting. Whether your interest lies in executive search management, marketing, or agricultural recruiting, your background and network of Canadian agricultural executives will prepare you for the next opportunity.

At Litherland & Co., we combine our expertise in executive search management for agriculture businesses with a deep network of Canadian agri-food leaders. By leveraging this experience, we provide human capital consulting services that guide both individuals and organizations to success. If you’re ready to explore consulting in agriculture, trust us to help you make the next step in your career journey.
