Statement from FVGC President, Marcus Janzen

The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) President, Marcus Janzen, wishes to announce that Massimo Bergamini will begin a transition from his role as Executive Director as he moves toward retirement. The Board is grateful for his leadership and for the organizational achievements made during his tenure.

Massimo joined FVGC with a plan to help realize our Fresh Approach, with a focus on revitalizing our approach to strategy, governance, and advocacy. Under his leadership, the Food Lens moved from idea to action. Our election platform resonated across political parties, including Liberal references to the Food Lens and greenhouse investment, and the Speech from the Throne emphasized food security and agricultural producers.

Over the coming months, Massimo will support a thoughtful transition, ensuring continuity for our members and partners while positioning FVGC for its next chapter.

The Board will keep members informed as it finalizes the leadership search process.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
