Event Description

Get in on the tough conversations

With Andrew Campbell, Fresh Air Media

We've all been there. We see a chance to set the record straight on agriculture – but it's not always easy.

Join us for a webinar that will help you feel more confident and prepared to be a stronger voice for the industry. Over these 60 minutes, Andrew Campbell will talk about the importance of using social media to foster a positive perception of the industry – and show some real-life success stories. He'll also talk about how to deal with some of the not-so-positive dialogue out there. It's not always easy, but it's important – and everyone can do it.

Wednesday, Sept. 24
11:30 MDT (1:30 Ontario time EDT)

The webinar will be available here.

You'll learn about:

  • The role social media can play in advocacy
  • How to use social media to find success
  • The role of positive attitudes and emotions in connecting with consumers
  • Anticipating and addressing tough issues or tough crowds
  • Other opportunities for positive advocacy

Andrew Campbell isn't afraid to face the toughest issues – or audiences – facing today's ag industry. Andrew is the owner of Fresh Air Media, a company dedicated to helping producers and consumers make better decisions through education and information. Andrew left the farm to pursue a career in journalism, but quickly learned that nothing beats the country. Now, he’s returned to the family dairy and crop operation as a partner, and loves nothing more than to see others in the industry become passionate about their role in feeding the world and how new technology and communication tools can help achieve success.

*If you can't join in live, a recorded version will be posted to our website on or before October 15. No registration required!

Update on AAFC Staffing Reductions and Canola Research

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)’s decision to close multiple research stations and reduce staff across the country is alarming. Consultation is urgently needed so research funders understand the impacts of the cuts, explore alternatives where needed, and identify paths forward. AAFC researchers and facilities are world-class, and they have played a crucial role in advancing canola production for Canadian farmers. Alberta Canola, Manitoba Canola Growers and SaskOilseeds expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the AAFC researchers, technicians, and other supporting staff who have contributed to growth and profitability of the canola sector in Canada. Canadian farmers have earned Canada’s place as a leading oilseed supplier, with canola contributing billions to the Canadian economy; these government cuts raise serious questions about the support needed to sustain that success. Canola growers invest millions of dollars per year in research projects, many of which are being led and

Joint Letter on the Closure of Federal Agricultural Research Centres

We are writing to express our deep disappointment with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s recent decision to close three federal research and development centres and four satellite research farms across Canada, including the research and development centre in Lacombe, Alberta. Research and development are critical to advancing industries and economies by addressing current challenges and building resilience for the future and has played a vital role in growing agricultural exports to $100.3 billion in 2024 (AAFC, 2025). In the context of today’s global environment and declining productivity for Canadian agriculture, it is more important than ever to support domestic research capacity to ensure Canada remains a leader in agriculture for years to come. Public investment in agricultural research has historically delivered some of the highest economic returns of any government expenditure. Independent studies consistently demonstrate that agricultural research and development generates st
