An award-winning documentary filmmaker turned a quiet seed conference into a full-blown call to arms for Canadian storytelling. It’s not every day a documentary filmmaker steals the show at a seed growers’ conference. But then again, Mike Downie isn’t your average filmmaker. When he stepped on stage at the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) annual meeting in Victoria, B.C. today, he didn’t come to talk policy. He came to talk purpose. And…Victoria, British Columbia · VictoriaRead Article

Productivity in Farming Now Hinges on Seed and Not Steel, Says FCC Economist

Why the next great agricultural leap won’t come from machines. The paradox of Canadian agriculture is that it is both a global powerhouse and a laggard. A sector that contributes over $140 billion to national GDP and feeds millions abroad is, by its own admission, underperforming. Craig Klemmer, principal agricultural economist at Farm Credit Canada, has spent the past 15 years dissecting these contradictions. He delivers a sobering message: the…Victoria, British Columbia · VictoriaRead Article
