Dairy Farmers of Canada goes all in on sustainability
Strategy Online
Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is tying its membership to sustainability with its latest campaign, which also leans more into digital to reach younger consumers.
Throughout the campaign, real farmers proudly demonstrate their actions to protect the environment by declaring, “I’m in!” for DFC’s Net Zero 2050 goal. Announced earlier this year, DFC plans to reach net-zero GHG emissions among its membership by 2050 through reducing emissions, offsets, as well as efforts related to soil, land, water, biodiversity, waste and energy.

The online grocery shopping trend is here to stay
CPA Canada
A 2020 study by Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab noted that the decision to use online grocery shopping often coincides with “major life events and transitions,” such as the birth of a child or caring for a sick relative. Well, you can now add global health crisis to that list.

Why is plant-based protein still more expensive than meat?
Corporate Knights
In May 2022, Canadians paid 9.7 per cent more for food than they did the same month in 2021, according to Statistics Canada, while food prices in the United States were 10.1 per cent higher in the same comparison. Meat prices have been of particular concern, going up 10.1 per cent in Canada and 14.2 per cent in the U.S. for meats, poultry, fish and eggs.
Advocates of plant-based proteins hope that these higher meat prices may eventually convince consumers to switch to meat alternatives if environmental benefits haven’t already done so.

Ashcroft-Cache Creek Journal
Cherry trees in the area are now ripe with fruit, apricot trees won’t be far behind, and vegetable gardens will — with a little help from Mother Nature and some warmer weather — soon be producing their bounty.
The Equality Project in Cache Creek is hoping to make use of some of the excess produce that might otherwise go to waste by starting a gleaning program.

Space agriculture boldly grows food where no one has grown before
Canadian Manufacturing
Whether to spend money on outer space exploration or to apply it to solve serious problems on Earth, like climate change and food shortages, is a contentious debate. But one argument in favour of space exploration highlights benefits that do, in fact, help study, monitor and address serious concerns like climate change and food production.

8 superfoods that could future-proof our diet
Smithsonian Magazine
Some of our favorite foods are under threat as climate change gathers speed. With only 15 plants contributing to 90% of humanity’s energy intake, losing just one staple crop could spell disaster. Yet there are more than 7,000 varieties of edible plants worldwide.
“Why are we not using the rest?” asks Tiziana Ulian, a conservation biologist and senior research leader of Sustainable Use, Seeds and Solutions at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the U.K.

The spontaneous invention of the ice cream float
Tasting Table
What's your soda fountain treat of choice? These hangouts got their start in 1850s America when pharmacies and drugstores began offering cure-all tonics, which typically featured flavoured medicinal extracts (and, very often, cocaine) mixed into soda water. Over time, soda fountains expanded their menus to include less curative options such as milkshakes, ice cream floats, and sundaes.
