Cultivating Trust Event Goes Today

Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan holds its Annual Conference this afternoon.
 
Executive Director Clinton Monchuk says the theme for this year's virtual event is Cultivating Trust and features 2 keynote speakers Professor Timothy Caulfield and Dr Frank Mitloehner.
 
"Professor Caulfield will be talking about a lot of the misinformation that's out there and how we can deal with it. Dr. Mitloehner is going to be talking about methane cycles. You know there's been a lot of negativity around the livestock industry particularly ruminant production. He's got a great presentation that we're going to be listening to talking about the methane cycle and why a lot of the information that's being spread is in fact misleading to the public."
 
Another highlight for today will be the presentation of the Farm and Food Care Champion Award which is given out to individuals who strive to engage consumers about agriculture and help farmers build public trust in our province and beyond.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
