Letter Dear Prime Minister: Our members represent a broad array of the agricultural supplychain that relies on freight rail transportation from the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and CPKC, and we write to express concerns regarding a potential significant disruption to the North American supplychains.
A new report from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, or FAO, has found that more fish were farmed worldwide in 2022 than harvested from the wild, an apparent first. The organization found that global production from both aquaculture and fisheries reached a new high — 223.3 Of that, 185.4 metric tons.
But the discrepancy is by design, says Joshua Stoll, associate professor at the University of Maine and founder of Local Catch Network , a hub of seafood harvesters, businesses, researchers, and organizers that supports the growth of community-based seafood. A healthier system more reflective of the diversity of U.S. Alaska drives the bus.
The small, invasive shore crabs are easy to find—they like to hang out in tidal marshes, alongside rocky shores, and on sand flats, but finding fishermen and seafood harvesters willing to catch the crabs for human consumption is a challenge. “The demand is huge; the problem is a consistent supply,” says Hale.
Farinella’s whistleblower account coincides with a three-year investigation, “ Hidden Harvest ,” published in March by the Corporate Accountability Lab (CAL), exposing the human rights abuses rampant across India’s shrimp sector. wild shrimp harvesters have been calling to curb imported shrimp, which undermines their shrinking industry.
This program will equip small- and mid-sized farm and food businesses with funding to develop and amplify regional supplychains. Farm and food businesses, including aquaculture and wild-caught fisheries, and qualified nonprofits are eligible to apply.
Seaweed naturally absorbs carbon as it grows, but unless it is harvested, it decomposes and releases carbon back. The company is also developing a harvesting machine that will reap the seaweed “using minimum cost and time.” She eventually began working directly with farmers in 2023, but it was too little, too late.
Then, in 2015, they were mandated to put more traps on each buoy to reduce the number of end lines, or individual points of harvest, in the water. Making these changes was costly and time-consuming for lobster harvesters. By 2020, Maine lobsterers had to ensure their gear was labeled in case of a whale entanglement.
When Otto began fishing in the 1960s, there were thousands of independent small-scale fishers harvesting seafood along B.C.’s Over time, changes in government regulations have allowed massive factory ships owned by large corporations to gobble up fish, which increased the length of the supplychain. Or, in this case, a CSF.
Szeliga says that aspects of catch composition, species, harvesting methods, transport means and using salt for moisture retention should be considered when discussing seafood sustainability. Conditions for fishermen are not always transparent and can be overlooked in the narratives around sustainable fish.
wheat production and supplies is improving the outlook for profitability among grain elevators that store wheat. Futures market carries have improved for all three major classes of wheat and the buy basis is widening following a bigger harvest. A modest rebound in U.S.
They are behind the Fair Food Program , a partnership that seeks to create a more ethical supplychain that benefits workers, growers, retailers, and eaters. The organization aims to address systemic food supplychain issues and ultimately eliminate the need for their work.
Sparked by the author’s experience of seed shortages at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, What We Sow urges readers to engage with the supplychain and support more local, community-based practices, such as seed saving and seed libraries. The simple reason I find these compelling is that groceries are so very complex.
The massive interruption in the livestock supplychain during the early onset of the pandemic resulted in numerous livestock being euthanized. Offshore aquaculture producers will receive an additional $300 million of aid. Timber harvesters and hauling businesses will qualify for $200 million of aid.
By November, the bulk of the Mid-Atlantic harvest had been sold. The USDA had also funded a related initiative set up to move local farm harvests into food banks, called the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program. Future Harvest has multiple USDA grants.
