Behind the Scenes with Farm and Food Care

On this day of love, it seems appropriate to talk about Farm & Food Care, a charitable organization creating awareness of the people and what they do behind the scenes in agriculture and food in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. 

“Farm & Food Care Ontario brings farmers, agricultural professionals, related businesses, government organizations and other groups together with a mandate to build public trust in food and farming,” as reported on their website.

Creating public awareness and hopefully some love for agriculture and food is central to their remit. Farm & Food Care also play a role in farm education with resources for soil management and livestock care.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
