An estimated 2.3 billion people suffer from some degree of nutrition deficiency or food insecurity. This is just shy of 1 in 4 people. Without innovative agriculture technologies, this won't improve. Organics aren't a viable solution. #ICABR2025.

Canada will need to decide whether it's more important to have trade deal that promote economic growth or never sign another trade deal, with no economic growth simply to protect 4200 inefficient Quebec dairy farms. #endsupplymanagement

It's great to see this proceeding after support by the Sierra Club for this ended due to political pressure from other environmental groups. Yet more evidence how eNGOS don't care about the environment any more.

Very pleased to be a guest on today's show.
Coming up on The Courtney Theriault Show: Canada scraps its digital services tax, why was the U.S. hated it? Are Quebec’s dairy farmers blocking free trade in Canada? And Elections Alberta approves a ‘Stay in Canada’ referendum initiative. Tune in 2–4PM on 880 CHED #yeg #ableg

Fantastic news. Yet another African country rejecting the lies spread about GM crops by EU-based activist environmental organizations.
Rwanda embraces GMOs! Will pilot the growing of three biotech crops —cassava, Irish potato and maize!

"In North America, beef production increased by 30 percent [between 1980 and 2022] and emissions still fell by 16 percent." Excellent evidence on how livestock production is not a driving factor of climate change. %2C%20or%20using%20natural%20feed.

Canada needs to strengthen its intellectual property protection in agriculture. If Canada fails to do this, R&D investments are going to flow to other countries, which will harm agriculture and raise food prices.
The PBR Comish makes a lot of good points, but one is most dear to my heart: taking intellectual property seriously. Check out the interview: Too much talk, and not enough action — it's time Canadian agriculture made hay - RealAgriculture

Further evidence that the true objective of eNGOs is to increase food insecurity, malnourishment and starvation.
Kenya just banned chlorothalonil, a widely used fungicide, on political—not scientific—grounds. The result? 🍅📉 Vegetable exports have already fallen by 50%, and domestic food production is plummeting. “Our fresh vegetable exports have halved as producers are left without.
