FVDRC announces new directors

The Fruit and Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation (DRC) held a successful annual general meeting in Seattle, Washington, on May 30th, 2024.

During the meeting, the DRC members elected two new directors to the board. Bryan Nickerson of Western Growers and Cara Porter from Loblaw Companies Limited, have been officially welcomed as the newest additions to the Board of Directors.

Members approved a decision to broaden DRC’s jurisdiction beyond products entering commerce in North America. This decision will allow members to resolve disputes regardless of location or where transactions occurred, thus expanding member benefits by increasing its global reach and member services.

DRC’s 2023 Annual Report is now available to members via the members’ portal or by request through email at info@fvdrc.com.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
