Canadian Foodgrains Bank releases five-year strategic plan

The Canadian Foodgrains Bank has released its five-year strategic plan.

Musu Taylor Lewis is director of resources and public engagement.

"In the coming years, we will be building on almost 40 years now of Christian service. Working towards a world without hunger. Strategic plans by their very nature focus on the things that need to change, but we do want to emphasize that there's a lot that will not change. Our mission, our vision will remain the same. Our areas of programs focused on food security and providing emergency food assistance in times of crises will continue."

Areas of Focus

Courageous Innovators

We plan to see more people with increased food security as a result of innovative programming and systems level change that address the root causes of hunger.

Compelling Invitation

We plan to see more diverse groups of people taking action, growing in understanding and improving public policies to end global hunger.

Advancing Equitable Practice

We plan to see the priorities of the people we serve reflected in all aspects of the Foodgrains Bank work.

Vibrant Network Relationships

We plan to see a respectful, productive network where information is shared and everyone’s contribution to ending hunger is valued.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
