Sustainable Animal Agriculture Forum Agenda Announced

Sep 07, 2012

First North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Comes to Ontario

The first ever North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Agriculture has announced its program highlights and key speakers. The forum is being put on my two prominent agricultural advocacy groups -Farm & Food Care Foundation and the Center for Food Integrity.

The forum will provide a venue to engage in a worthwhile discussion on defining what sustainable animal agriculture means along with an opportunity to network with industry leaders. It will take place Sept. 17-18 at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel in Mississauga, Ontario.

The following are the program highlights:

•What does the public think about food and farming? Attendees will be the first to hear the findings of a recently completed consumer attitudes study on food and farming in Canada.
•What role does science play in sustainable food?
•Managing issues and shifting to meet market demands – from the farm through to the grocery store

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension

USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.

*Apologies! Where we talk about the latest CFTC update as of 10th Feb 2026, managed money funds covered their net short position in canola to the tune of +42,746 week-on-week to flip to net long 145 contracts and not (as we mistakenly said) +90,009 wk/wk to 47,408.
