IMO the 3 most disruptive future techs aren't that techy. 1. In row grazing...teeth, saliva 2. Biochar infused rations..ahead of animals...into digestive systems..into the soil 3. Transparency..not just tracking supply chain..watching your food being grown. Literally any time.

Farmers care for animals to improve planet and human health.

Lots of local provincially inspected & decentralized abattoirs for Ontario livestock would be really nice to have right now. Politicians might want to go over the reasons as to why so many of them have been closed. My snarky thought for tonight #ontag

Same scenario we're already seeing in agriculture.

While the politicians fight over where money goes and how much more we should print a few are actually looking into solving problems. Money doesn't solve everything, and if you've employed the lower half giving away money eliminates the motive to show up.

Starting Tue morning, the first group of employees will be received at the plant by a team of people trained to give them instructions about the new protocol, which has been adapted for work in a slaughterhouse Olymel St-Henri Recrutement #COVID19 #pork #EssentialWorkers nationalhogfarmer.com/business/olyme…

“pork farmers are under heavy distress...” - Captain Obvious

The processing capacity bottleneck has expanded beyond the beef industry. Canada's pork farmers are on the verge of euthanizing 1000's of hogs. On Saturday in the House of Commons, I urged the Minister of Finance to act. Unfortunately his response wasn't very reassuring.
