Our very own Ian Affleck, vice-president, plant biotechnology & sustainability, joins @Edel_PLopez and @CamiDRyan tomorrow on a food security and innovation panel as part of #AmericasAgForum26.
Food security is national security! 🌱🇨🇦
This has been one of the central messages of this year’s #AmericasAgForum26, taking place at our beautiful @universitelaval! 👏
Tomorrow, I’m excited to join @CropLifeCanada, @Bayer, and @CamiDRyan for a panel discussion on how innovation can help shape the future of agriculture, strengthen food security, and address the challenges facing our food systems.
Looking forward to an engaging conversation! 🌎🌾
Looking forward to two days in Québec and on the @universitelaval campus for #AmericasAgForum26.
Already great to see familiar faces and catch up… and looking forward to making new friends and having more good conversations!
Thought of the day:
We’ve upgraded the technology of connection and neglected the obligations of social connectedness.
More access, less attention.
More contact, less commitment.
Everyone within reach; fewer people we actually reach for.
And a feed full of noise to fill the gap.

CropLife Canada’s Ian Affleck and Emilie Bergeron appeared before the Senate Agriculture & Forestry Committee in support of Bill C-31 and proposed changes to the post-market regulatory framework for pest control products.
The amendments would help reduce re-evaluation backlogs and focus regulatory resources where new evidence warrants further scrutiny.
A science-based, efficient and responsive regulatory system benefits Canadians.

A friend gave me this today.
Colorless. Odorless.
Can cause death if inhaled.
Prolonged exposure to its solid form can cause tissue damage.
And a perfect reminder that you can make almost anything sound terrifying.
Party’s over. Time to catch a flight home.
Congratulations to my friend, colleague and mentor, Brian Treacy, on a remarkable career. Thank you for all you’ve done for agriculture, and for the many people lucky enough to work with you and learn from you.
