Happy #CDNAgDay - a day to celebrate our agri-food supply chain producing local, nutritious and affordable food. Take a moment to appreciate our farmers and aim to choose local and chow down today on some of the best Canada has to offer! #food #agriculture

[Waterpoint Lane @WaterpointLane]

@bronwynnewilton Pretty well balanced article on the space as at now. As the tech continues to advance and if the current challenges in traditional ag continue then a convergence of the economics are inevitable...though never that simple as new tech in traditional ag also responding! #agtech

Happy #OntAgWeek to everyone involved in Ontario's amazing food and ag system!

A great example of what truly being purpose-driven means! #Sustainability #ClimateAction

[Patagonia @patagonia]

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.

Agreed! Balanced discussions are hugely important to ensure we allow for all stakeholders to contribute to policy but misinformation is dangerous and something we should all be concerned about

[Bronwynne Wilton @bronwynnewilton]

It may seem like nonsense to some folks but we should all be very concerned about the amount of misinformation that is swirling around in our country and in our communities. Very good article ⬇️

[Waterpoint Lane @WaterpointLane]

@bronwynnewilton This is great news to hear! 👏

@FoodProfessor There are a number of current and evolving #AgTech solutions that can support these goals and continued investment and collaboration by all facets of the industry will see positive outcomes achieved particularly for farmers and consumers

[Waterpoint Lane @WaterpointLane]

@FoodProfessor Not going to pretend to understand the stakeholder engagement process in detail but I suggest we should move on from an 'us' vs 'them' dialogue and focus on how the #CanAg industry can continue to evolve and lead in sustainability goals

[Waterpoint Lane @WaterpointLane]

Great to see #CdnAg Ministers continue to make steps and importantly allocate further resources to drive #Sustainability

[Marie-Claude Bibeau @mclaudebibeau]

Today, federal, provincial & territorial #CdnAg Ministers agreed on shared commitments for the Next Agricultural Policy Framework.

We have an ambitious plan to advance sustainable growth & the competitiveness of our agriculture & agri-food sector.

See my statement 👇
