Canadians Encouraged to Provide Feedback On Canadian Food Strategy

ByAmanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Is a national food strategy important to you? If you answered yes, you should consider providing feedback online about the content of the Canadian Food Strategy.

The Conference Board of Canada’s Centre for Food in Canada is inviting the Canadian public to provide responses and feedback to help form the content that will be outlined in a future food strategy document. The strategy focuses on five main components – industry, healthy food, food safety, consumer security, and environmental sustainability.

The feedback is in a survey format and will take 20 to 25 minutes to complete. Feedback will be considered to be a part of the strategy that will be released Nov. 2013.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
