This is a comprehensive summary of the challenges facing BC’s tree fruit sector but there’s one thing it overlooks: the global competition it points to is from grower co-ops in other parts of the world. Zespri is a New Zealand grower co-op. Italian tree fruit co-ops worked with Zespri to help their growers diversify and cover the half of the year when Southern-Hemisphere kiwis were out of season. To say that the only solution is to go big and corporate is to ignore the reality of agriculture in much of the rest of the world. https://lnkd.in/ggdk-g4r

Agriculture Family Farmers Are the Future. Let’s Celebrate Them! More than 90 percent of farms—about 500 million—are run either by individual or family labor! More than 1.5 billion people worldwide are involved in family farming, and these operations produce more than 80 percent of the world’s food value, according to U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data. Across regions and biomes, no two family farms look the same. Family farmers are fishers, pastoralists, peasants, Indigenous peoples, mountain farmers, smallholders, and medium-scale growers. https://lnkd.in/gCk62qNy

In the year-long agricultural cycle of beer’s main ingredients, hop harvest gets all the glory, but work on the hop farm begins much earlier. While most of us are still staying cozy inside our homes waiting for spring, work is beginning to prepare for the coming hop season. Farming is a year-round project; harvest is just the coronation. For my latest article for PorchDrinking, I talk with Nick at Zachrich Hopyard about the work that goes on at the hop farm long before harvest. https://lnkd.in/eBxZin3Y

Congress Lake Farms, Royer Farms, and Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) have turned routine airport maintenance into an agricultural opportunity that reflects the efficiency, collaboration, and resourcefulness at the heart of farming. This partnership isn’t just about sustainability for Kenny Rufener and Dustin Royer, owners/operators of the two respective dairies. It’s a practical solution that strengthens their feed supply and supports the success of their operations. Congress Lake Farms and Royer Farms run large-scale dairy operations near Mogadore on the Summit and Portage County line that require careful coordination to keep things running smoothly.
