Экологически чистый фермер и атака на современное сельское хозяйство

Фермер из Саскачевана, Член Глобальной фермерской сети, and blogger Jake Leguee delivered the keynote “The environmentally friendly farmer and the attack on modern agriculture” at Ag-West Bio, Saskatchewan’s bioscience industry association annual meeting held June 23, 2022.

In his blog, A Year in the Life of a Farmer, Leguee shares his views on “the challenges we face as a society, with the perspective of someone who makes his living from Mother Nature, and world markets dominated by economics, политика, and human emotion.” He also writes about the frustration of hearing non-farmers discussing topics like regenerative agriculture, здоровье почвы, and farming practices to reduce carbon emissions, and trying to impose their views on how to ‘switch’ to better practices, сократить использование пестицидов, and grow more ‘sustainable’ crops.

Following his keynote, Leguee was part of a panel discussion. На панели, Leguee was joined by Alanna Koch, who is also a Global Farmer Network member from Saskatchewan.
