Cows grazing on hillside pastures are a stereotypical – if often true – image of Switzerland. The Swiss are proud of their mountains and their pristine Alpine countryside. They’re also pretty serious about promoting homegrown food products.
One of the country’s leading supermarket chains, Co-op, sells a line of branded Swiss food products – milk, yogurts, [...]]]></description>

The Moselle region of Luxembourg produces some fantastic wines &#8211; which we&#8217;ve been lucky enough to sample abundantly during our three day visit to the country this week. The tour was part of the International Federation of Agriculture Journalists (IFAJ) congress that is being hosted this week in Ostende, Belgium.

That’s the message Montana logger and environmental advocate Bruce Vincent told a record audience at the Speakers’ Forum hosted by AGCare and the Ontario Farm Animal Council (OFAC) in Guelph yesterday. 
The public is tired of doom and gloom, Vincent said, and [...]]]></description>

An episode of Oprah, a hard-hitting Time magazine cover story, a film called Food Inc. – farming is under increased, often one-sided scrutiny leaving many people to wonder whether modern agriculture is on the right track.
Rob Hannam, President of Synthesis Agri-Food Consulting, believes it encourages everyone to do more to address public perceptions of farming, [...]]]></description>

One of 2009&#8217;s hot stories was our growing love affair with buying locally grown food &#8211; and learning how we can do more of that ourselves. 
There&#8217;s an interesting story from the Globe and Mail on the CTV Olympic site: a Sudbury torchbearer is involved in a local food growing project in the region. I [...]]]></description>

Growing numbers of farmers are turning to alternative agriculture and agri-tourism initiatives to help them earn a living. That message was illustrated by several speakers at the recent Canadian Farm Writers Federation annual meeting in Edmonton, Alberta earlier this month.

Farming &#8211; should we be focusing on food, feed, fuel or fibre?
That&#8217;s a question many are grappling with these days as agriculture spreads into areas beyond traditional production of food for people and feed for animals.
Can we do it all? How can we do it sustainably? On a global scale, yet locally?
