Behind the Scenes with Farm and Food Care

On this day of love, it seems appropriate to talk about Farm & Food Care, a charitable organization creating awareness of the people and what they do behind the scenes in agriculture and food in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. 

“Farm & Food Care Ontario brings farmers, agricultural professionals, related businesses, government organizations and other groups together with a mandate to build public trust in food and farming,” as reported on their website.

Creating public awareness and hopefully some love for agriculture and food is central to their remit. Farm & Food Care also play a role in farm education with resources for soil management and livestock care.

How much skin do independent seed companies have in the game? About $1.7 billion in infrastructure across SeCan’s membership, says General Manager Jeff Reid.

That investment helps get improved varieties into Canadian farmers’ hands. But how can smaller businesses invest more in the breeding behind those varieties without the individual financial resources of the big multinational players?

Jeff’s answer is to invest smarter, together. He joins On The Brink to explain how farmers and independent seed companies can combine resources, build on Canada’s existing breeding programs and support a trusted system for testing and registering new varieties. The goal is better choices for farmers, backed by data they can trust.
