Great meeting with Dr. Crispin Taylor, CEO of ASPB, and Dr. Ashok Dang, Vice President, at the ASPB–Canadian Society of Plant Biologists (CSPB) 2026 Annual Meeting in Ottawa.

Pleased to highlight OCP’s commitment to plant nutrition as a Foundational Corporate Member of ASPB.

ਨੀਲੇ ਆਸਮਾਨ ਦੀ ਵਿਸਾਲਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਅਥਾਹ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦੀ ਡੂੰਘਾਈ ਵਿੱਚ,
ਮੈਂ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਇੱਕ ਯਾਤਰੀ ਹਾਂ—
ਕੁਦਰਤ ਦੇ ਬੇਅੰਤ ਗਿਆਨ ਅੱਗੇ ਨਿਮਰ ਹੋ ਕੇ।

Beneath the boundless sky and before the fathomless sea,
I am but a traveler—
humbled by the infinite wisdom of nature.

Beautiful example of cauliflory on Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis). These vibrant magenta flower buds are emerging directly from the trunk and older branches — a fascinating botanical adaptation that allows the tree to attract early-spring pollinators before the leaves unfurl.

A MicroGreen Revolution Begins Beneath Our Feet

Honored to meet Dr. Mariangela Hungria, the 2025 World Food Prize Laureate. Her pioneering research is leading a microbial revolution — transforming the sustainability of soil health and crop nutrition worldwide.

An unforgettable moment at the 2025 World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue — standing between two towering figures in agricultural science: Dr. Gurdev Singh Khush, the father of modern rice, and Dr. Rattan Lal, the savior of soil. Their pioneering work quite literally feeds the world.

The 180-year Rothamsted trial uncovers a soil carbon secret: fertilizers.
•P alone: +10% SOC (but less stable)
•N alone: +22% SOC (more stable)
•N+P: +28% SOC (best of both)

Globally: N ↑21%, P ↑13%. https://t.co/80y6UHV0v4

Fertilizer that trains crops for drought?
Triple Superphosphate (TSP) helps maize conserve water early by slowing root flow. Works in most soils—soil pH matters. Smarter fertilization = drought-ready crops!

Tech alone can’t fix farming. Dr. M.S. Swaminathan knew this well.

His vision—the Evergreen Revolution—calls for a food system that’s sustainable, ethical, and inclusive.

We honor his legacy not with awards, but with real action. 🌾

Another trip around the sun — not about the years, but the unwavering pursuit of purpose.
Grounded in soil, seeds, and the living systems that nourish us, I’m still a student, learning and serving.
