Ag In The Classroom Canada Reaches Over Two Million Students In 2019

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada held its virtual AGM last month.
 
Executive Director Johanne Ross says 2019 was an outstanding year.
 
"We reached over two million students, that was an increase of over 100%. We're pretty excited about the reach and the main part of that is working through our provincial member organizations."
 
Ross notes all 10 provinces are now at the table.
 
She explained what school might look like in the fall.
 
"We are assuming that it's going to be a combination of in-person class time as well as virtual. We know that i'ts not going to be as easy as it was to go visit a classroom with outside volunteers. That's just going to be our reality, so all of us across the country are really looking at developing our virtual learning. There is so much opportunity there for us."

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
