New leadership and members for Protein Industries Canada

Protein Industries Canada has a fresh face leading their Board. Enter Tyler Groeneveld, from the well-known Corteva Agriscience. He's been with them since the beginning of 2018. 

In Tyler's words, “It’s a thrilling journey ahead. With teamwork, we're focusing on innovation and growth in food, feed, and more. Let's make Canada proud!” 

But don't worry, Frank Hart, our inaugural Chair, isn't going anywhere. He’s sticking around on the board. He says, “I've loved my time leading and now it's Tyler's moment. The goal? Boosting Canada’s plant world.” 

Oh, and the board's expanding. Welcome aboard, Dr. Anja Geitmann from McGill, Dori Gingera-Beauchemin, our farmer friend, Jacqueline Khayat of Virentia, and Cargill's Jennifer Marchand. A big thank you to our departing members for their dedication. 

Tyler gave a warm nod to Frank, stating, “Your leadership was a game-changer, Frank. Thanks for setting the stage!” 

Recently, they had an event in Edmonton. A cool collaboration of $20 million with Innovate UK and Yves Potvin, his speech was the talk of the town.

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
