Retail Insider
Canadians have started to notice that grocers are starting to sell plants in miniature greenhouses.

Why processing beans, peas and lentils could solve Canada's 'commodity conundrum'
Financial Post
Durum wheat is as good a place as any to try to wrap your head around one of the more stubborn problems in Canadian food production. Millions of acres are devoted to growing the crop. Local producers then mill and ship it around the world, making the country a major player in the global export market. What happens next is the problem.

Cooking up change-makers
Corporate Knights
A lethal pandemic, disrupted global supply chains, record restaurant closures and rising social-justice concerns. Perfect timing for a new college degree in food issues this fall, right?
Apparently, yes.
“The whole world has been turned upside down, and there are a lot of new issues in terms of food that have come to the fore,” says Lori Stahlbrand, co-developer of a new four-year Honours Bachelor of Food Studies at George Brown College in Toronto.

The Stand-Up sterile bag is an economical alternative to rigid containers. Its free-standing body supported by its gusseted base allows it to stand up with only a little amount of you sample inside. The user’s hands are then free to perform complex manipulations. It can perfectly accommodate solid, semi-solid and liquid samples and resists incubation temperatures.
With no holding and accessories required, it facilitates and speeds up the testing process, and reduces handling errors!

Meet Canada's cherry king
Kelowna Now
David Geen's ah-ha moment was an August weekend in 1990 at Vancouver's Granville Island market.
He'd arrived from the Okanagan with two tons of Sweetheart cherries and sold them all in just a day and a half for the premium price of $4.99 a pound.
"The light bulb went off," said Geen, who owns and operates Jealous Fruits in Kelowna with his wife Laura and their sons, Eric and Alexander.

Growing food sustainability
Cochrane Times-Post
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. The same could be said for planting a garden. Learning to plant a seed that produces a vegetable will sustain a person, a family and a community.
That is one of the projects that the Ininew Friendship Centre is currently developing.

SeaWestNews
A new scientific study has dismantled the bogus claims by anti-aquaculture activists, that the piscine reovirus (PRV) is a salmon killer and will devastate the iconic species in British Columbia.
The study, like the ones before, refutes core apocalyptic fearmongering by the activists who tell their mainly urban followers that PRV, allegedly spread from fish farms, cause diseases in wild salmon stocks.

Inverse
To wash your chicken or not wash your chicken: That is the question that has plagued home cooks for decades.

Study: Plant-based meat not nutritionally same as real stuff
Toronto Sun
Meat can’t be beat.
So say scientists who argue plant-based meat alternatives simply can’t measure up in terms of nutritional components. Duke University researchers compared 36 food samples — 18 widely known plant-based meat alternatives to 18 grass-fed ground beef options from an Idaho ranch. For each sample, the number of metabolites, small molecules that make up the nutrients in foods, were measured.
