Canadian Foodgrains Bank releases five-year strategic plan

The Canadian Foodgrains Bank has released its five-year strategic plan.

Musu Taylor Lewis is director of resources and public engagement.

"In the coming years, we will be building on almost 40 years now of Christian service. Working towards a world without hunger. Strategic plans by their very nature focus on the things that need to change, but we do want to emphasize that there's a lot that will not change. Our mission, our vision will remain the same. Our areas of programs focused on food security and providing emergency food assistance in times of crises will continue."

Areas of Focus

Courageous Innovators

We plan to see more people with increased food security as a result of innovative programming and systems level change that address the root causes of hunger.

Compelling Invitation

We plan to see more diverse groups of people taking action, growing in understanding and improving public policies to end global hunger.

Advancing Equitable Practice

We plan to see the priorities of the people we serve reflected in all aspects of the Foodgrains Bank work.

Vibrant Network Relationships

We plan to see a respectful, productive network where information is shared and everyone’s contribution to ending hunger is valued.

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild



In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
