prAGmatic: HOW SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATION

feeds the world OUTPUT INPUT TRANSPARENCY Consumers are concerned about “sustainability” and “transparency”. They increasingly want to know how their food is produced and what the impact of that food production has on the environment.

Fair enough.

But where are they getting the information that forms their thoughts and how “grounded” (pun intended) is that information?

I find, while talking to urbanites and those detached from agriculture, the gap between perception and reality is wide and not very rooted in the reality of farming and I find, one of the best ways for consumers to become more confident in the food they eat is to talk directly to famers.

November 28th to 30th in Red Deer, AB will see the debut of a new show called the Agri-Food Innovation Expo which aims to do two things. Connect consumers to farmers to narrow the perception gap and connect famers to consumers to examine value-added strategies which can be developed to bring more profit to the farm.

The reason I am talking about this is because I believe we need more initiatives like this. I am excited for farmers attending to learn about industry trends and I am keen to watch as consumers connect with producers to learn more about what is actually happening on the farm.

amount of XYZ herbicide. It would mean that its sustainability metric should be higher. If you could track the output/ input numbers and turned that into a transparency score would that mean something to you? And, most importantly, would you pay for it?

Or better yet, what if you used drone technology to map every weed in the field and precisely sprayed only the weeds using only 10% of XYZ herbicide and still grew 200 bushels of oats? Image what that would do to a sustainability score!

These are some of the ideas being brought forward at the Agri-Food Innovation Expo by Terry Aberhart a farmer from Langenberg Saskatchewan. Terry has an idea that goes beyond the “Organic” or “Non-GMO” labels but instead looks at the data. He’s looking a what is being produced, how much and what did it take to grow that crop by stacking those numbers against environmental metrics such as soil organic matter or water use efficiency or nitrogen use efficiency. The idea is called Pristine Ingredients, and the concept is where farmers track all their inputs and tally those against the outputs to produce a sustainability score or a Pristine Index.

Now let’s stack this idea up against what Dr Sylvain Charlebois the “Food Professor” from Dalhousie University, who is also speaking at the Expo, will say about consumer trends.

Will consumers grasp these ideas?

Would they pay for a Pristine Index?

I am keen to hear about whether consumers in a group act the same way as consumers do alone, in the aisle, with their shopping carts.

prAGmatic

Let’s take herbicides for example.

Farmers do not get paid to grow weeds. Weeds are problematic as they suck u p valuable resources such as nutrients and water significantly reducing crop yields.

Weeds gotta go! But how?

The number one method is crop competition. Nothing like an even, rapidly emerging healthy crop to fight weeds.

But it’s not enough. Weeds are prolific and need to be controlled by either mechanical or chemical methods. The most common form of mechanical control is tillage. And nothing is more destructive to soil structure than tillage which results in organic matter depletion and greenhouse gas release. This is the common method employed in organic crop production. When you stack sustainability metrics up against tillage of soil, will it come out ahead or behind the employment of a chemical herbicide to control weeds?

And if we do control weeds with chemical herbicide (be they synthetic or organic herbicides) is it possible to use the products in ways that reduce the environmental footprint?

Here’s an example using some cowboy math. If you grew 100 bu/ac of oats and used 1 liter per acre of XYZ herbicide or grew 200 bu/ac of oats using the same amount of XYZ, which one would have the lower footprint when looking at output verses input? Well, the 200 bushels per acre would have more output per input. 100% more oats for the same

If one box of oatmeal has a sustainability index of 53 and the other 86, will the consumer put their money where their mouth is? And if they do, how much of the money gets to the farmer?

These are the kind of prAGmatic discussions worth having.

I believe we need to build a bridge over the perception gap that exits between farmers and consumers which is why, if you can make it to Red Deer on Nov 28 to 30th, please consider attending www.

AgriFoodExpo.ca.

We need more events like this one.
