VANCOUVER, BC - Village Farms International, Inc. ("Village Farms" or the "Company") today announced that Michael DiGiglio, Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen Ruffini, Chief Financial Officer, will present at the LD 500 Virtual Conference on Thursday, September 3, 2020, at 1:20 p.m. ET.
 
During the presentation, Messrs. DeGiglio and Ruffini will discuss:
  • The success of Village Farms' majority-owned joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms, which has become one of the premier Canadian cannabis suppliers, and is the top-selling brand of dried flower products in Canada's largest provincial market1. Building on its commanding market share position, Pure Sunfarms recently began shipping its first bottled oil and vape products, which will be available to consumers shortly;
  • The Company's significant opportunities in the U.S. and international CBD markets; and,
  • Why the Company, with one of the largest greenhouse footprints in the United States, alongside decades of experience as a vertically integrated supplier of consumer products to major North American grocers and "big-box" retailers, is well positioned should high-THC cannabis be federally legalized in the U.S.

Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
