The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

I need some advice on my next smartphone. What do you have and like? Iphone, Android, Blackberry?

I am starting to look for a new smartphone. I need a phone that will sync with my office outlook calender and all my office contacts. I do a little internet browsing but not that much.  I like taking pictures and emailing them to myself for future use.


What do any Iphone users have to say, or should I look at an Android phone, or stay with new version of the Blackberry.


Any input would be appreciated, also what interesting things do you use your smartphone for, I am always interested to see what others have figured out.

It really depends on the use.  Yo need to ask yourself questions like:

-is the device for integrating all my media

-is the device for just phone an email

-what type of desktop, tablet, or laptop platform am I using currently or going o be using in the future.  

-do i have enterprise server needs?

Depopulation could destabilize food systems

It’s difficult to argue that climate change isn’t the most pressing threat to our agri-food sector. Farmers, processors, distributors, retailers and transporters have all been forced to adapt in real time to extreme weather events, shifting growing seasons and volatile conditions. From droughts to floods to wildfires, climate change has tested the resilience of every link in the food supply chain. Yet, for all the challenges the sector has faced – and will continue to face – due to climate pressures, it has managed to cope reasonably well. Investments in technology, new crop varieties, smarter logistics and infrastructure upgrades have helped absorb many of the shocks. But there is another looming threat – quieter, slower, and far more difficult to reverse – that few in the industry appear prepared for: depopulation. At its core, the food industry is built on one assumption: that there will always be more mouths to feed. Growth in population has long been a proxy for market growth.

Labour shortages create dragnet for agri-food

Canadian agriculture and agri-food consistently punch above their weight. Agriculture and agri-food contribute $111 billion per year – more than $30 million per day – to the Canadian economy, or over six per cent of our GDP. However, there are still more than 16,000 job vacancies on Canadian farms, and this labour crisis is resulting in avoidable financial strain. With that considered, you would think that smoothing out the regulatory red tape – especially on access to labour for farmers – should be highest priority for federal and provincial governments when the shortage is both critical and chronic, proven with many years of data and evidence. When COVID-19 challenged supply chains, action was taken to secure our food supply, but this level of urgency and priority for the sector appears to have come to an end. Producers and workers need new solutions Agriculture is theoretically prioritized in the immigration regulations, but it continues to be squeezed by on all sides. Agriculture
