The intense policy dynamic in the U.S. presents warning signs for Canada

The importance of U.S. policy actions and its agri-food market for Canada requires a broad knowledge and understanding of its many complex components. It encompasses the dynamics of U.S. federal government finance, domestic economic policy, and trade policy. These factors are continuing in flux and deepening, creating increased volatility and risks to the Canadian agri-food economy.  

An Independent Agri-Food Policy Note released by Agri-Food Economic Systems develops the conceptual and empirical background to help understand the situation, and help Canadian agri-food prepare for what may be coming.

Video: We’re gonna build a new barn to start producing vaccines in Canada

We are a family farm in Ontario showing you what we do on our farm to produce eggs and what goes on day to day. Every day we do chores, gather eggs and make feed. On our farm we plant the crops and harvest them to feed the chickens, also we start our laying hens from day old chicks and raise them to be the best birds they can be to give you a grade A quality egg. After we are finished looking after our chickens, anything could happen from washing, waxing, fixing, welding, working on engines, working on classic cars, and more. I hope everyone enjoys cheers.

So since Covid, we have not had a way to produce any vaccines in Canada until now….. Valo has reached out to us to start start the process .
