Bibeau Outlines Priorities For 2020

Canada's Agriculture Minister is hoping that next year is a better one for farmers.
 
Marie-Claude Bibeau outlined some of her top priorities heading into 2020.
 
"Regaining access to China is definitely one," she said. "Food policy is something else that I look forward to implement. There are different priorities within the food policy, like local food infrastructure, food waste, promoting Canadian products."
 
Bibeau talked more about the China/canola situation.
 
"We have started the process at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and obviously our new Ambassador Dominic Barton is working very hard from his part, and we are also doubling down on our efforts to export to other markets as well."

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
