Jul 06, 2022

TORONTO - Global Food and Ingredients Ltd. (TSXV: PEAS) ("GFI") is pleased to announce its attendance at the CEM TSX Venture Growth Capital Event taking place in Kelowna, British Columbia from July 7-9, 2022, organized by Capital Events Management Ltd. GFI will be hosting one-on-one formal and informal meetings with investors.

Through a day of structured one-on-one meetings and networking activities, the invitation only CEM TSX Venture Growth Capital Event introduces growth-stage companies to active top-level capital finance investors.

"The rising cost of food and food security, stemming from inflation and the war in Ukraine has dominated news headlines recently and is on the minds of investors", commented David Hanna, GFI's CEO. "GFI is ideally situated to respond to these global challenges with our locally sourced network of over 500+ farmers in Western Canada and four wholly-owned processing facilities that together create a zero-waste system and allows GFI to maximize value creation from each input that goes into our process.

"At GFI we are focused on providing premium plant-based food and ingredients that are not only good for the health of our customers but are good for the earth with minimal environmental impact in our processes," added David. "With the recent commissioning of our state-of-the-art pea splitting facility, GFI is continuing to add further downstream processing of locally sourced and internally produced inputs for the ingredients in our pet food ingredients blends and our consumer branded products, reducing dependency on third party suppliers to drive margin enhancement."

GFI recently commissioned its state-of-the-art pea splitting facility at its plant-based ingredient processing complex in Zealandia, Saskatchewan. The pea splitting facility is capable of processing over 60,000 metric tonnes of yellow and green peas into split peas and pea fibre annually at full capacity, using advanced steam-based technology, producing industry leading quality and efficiency that dramatically reduces water utilization compared to older technologies and recycles heat resulting in a uniquely low environmental impact process.

Video: Winter Canola Trial in Mississippi | Can It Work for Double Cropping? | Pioneer Agronomy

Can winter canola open new opportunities for growers in the Mid-South? In this agronomy update from Noxubee County, Mississippi, Pioneer agronomist Gus Eifling shares an early look at a first-year winter canola trial and what farmers are learning from the field.

Planted in late October on 30-inch rows, the crop is now entering the bloom stage and progressing quickly. In this video, we walk through current field conditions, fertility management, and how timing could make this crop a valuable option for double-cropping soybeans or cotton.

If harvest timing lines up with early May, growers may be able to transition directly into another crop during ideal planting windows. Ongoing field trials will help determine whether canola could become a viable rotational option for the region.

Watch for:

How winter canola is performing in its first season in this Mississippi field

Why growers chose 30-inch rows for this trial

What the crop looks like as it moves from bolting into bloom

Fertility strategy, including nitrogen and sulfur applications

How canola harvest timing could enable double-cropping with soybeans or cotton

Upcoming trials comparing soybeans after canola vs. traditional planting

As more growers look for ways to maximize acres and diversify rotations, experiments like this help determine what new crops might fit into existing systems.
