Clancy Mackay's story is one of the most extraordinary ever shared on Humans of Agriculture and there's a reason it remains our most downloaded episode of all time.This is a full re release of our most listened to episode ever.In this conversation, Oli Le Lievre sits down with Clancy Mackay to share one of the most extraordinary stories ever told on Humans of Agriculture.From growing up off grid in the Northern Territory with no power or running water, to breaking horses, mustering cattle, riding saddle broncs in the US, flying helicopters across remote Australia, and navigating profound personal loss, Clancy's journey is raw, confronting, and deeply human.This episode explores resilience beyond the buzzword. It is about grit, grief, purpose, and learning how to keep moving forward when life repeatedly tests you. It is also about respect for animals, people, and place, and why calm leadership and deep understanding matter more than force or ego.Why this episode mattersClancy's story is not polished or comfortable. It is honest.It reminds us that agriculture is built on people who endure, adapt, and keep showing up. People shaped by hardship, curiosity, and responsibility rather than shortcuts or certainty.This is an episode to sit with. An episode to return to. And an episode worth sharing.

Du 15 au 17 décembre 2025, Bruxelles accueillait la troisième édition des EU Agri-Food Days, comprenez les Journées européennes de l'agroalimentaire. Trois jours au cours desquels tous les acteurs du secteur - agriculteurs, distributeurs, consommateurs, décideurs politiques, ou encore universitaires – ont pu échanger sur les dernières orientations politiques, les défis et les opportunités à saisir. La première journée de l'événement était consacrée à la sécurité alimentaire de l'Union européenne, une priorité de la Politique agricole commune. Un thème que nous avons choisi d'approfondir dans le 64e épisode de Nourrir l'Europe. Au fil du podcast, Barthélemy Lanos, de la Direction générale de l'agriculture et du développement rural de la Commission européenne, revient sur les instruments et mécanismes disponibles pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire de l'UE. Felix Riecken, éleveur laitier en Allemagne, nous parle des vertus de l'agriculture régénératrice qu'il pratique, pour plus de résilience face au changement climatique. Yann de Mey, universitaire néerlandais, évoque la récente mutation des risques pour notre sécurité alimentaire et ses implications politiques, à savoir la montée en puissance de la notion de souveraineté alimentaire. Venu de Bulgarie, Lubomir Nokov, entrepreneur dans le secteur biologique, partage ses convictions sur le potentiel de l'agriculture bio, et Katharina Schobersberger, représentante des jeunes agriculteurs, appelle à des actions fortes pour stimuler le renouvellement générationnel.

Ensuring food security across the EU is a priority for the current Common Agricultural Policy and the proposed new CAP. For our 64th episode of Food for Europe, we report from day one of the Agri Food Days 2025. This three-day event — encompassing agriculture and food stakeholders, including farmers civil society, academia and policymakers — is an annual forum to deepen and broaden discussions about the latest policy trends, challenges and opportunities in the EU agri-food sector. Day one was dedicated to in-depth discussions about food security and the steps necessary to support the resilience of the agri-food sector. There was also a strong focus on the ways in which research and innovation enhance competitiveness, and how sustainable farming practices can help in adapting to climate and environmental challenges. The programme includes contributions from German regenerative dairy farmer Felix Riecken, academic Yann de Mey, organic entrepreneur Lubomir Nokov, young farmers' representative Katharina Schobersberger and European Commission official Barthélemy Lanos.

Ernährungssicherheit in der gesamten EU sicherzustellen, ist eine Priorität der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik und wird auch in Zukunft eine wichtige Rolle spielen. In unserer 64. Folge von 'Nahrung für Europa' berichten wir vom ersten Tag der EU Agri Food Days 2025 – den Agrar- und Ernährungstagen der Europäischen Union, an dem der Fokus auf Ernährungssicherheit lag. Die dreitägige Veranstaltung, an der Akteure aus den Bereichen Landwirtschaft und Ernährung, darunter Landwirte, Vertreter von Zivilgesellschaft, Wissenschaft und Politik, teilnehmen, ist ein jährliches Forum auf dem die neuesten politischen Trends, Herausforderungen und Chancen im Agrar- und Ernährungssektor der EU diskutiert werden. Der erste Tag war der Ernährungssicherheit gewidmet – und den notwendigen Schritten zur Stärkung der Widerstandsfähigkeit des Agrar- und Ernährungssektors. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt lag auf der Frage, wie Forschung und Innovation die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit verbessern und wie nachhaltige landwirtschaftliche Praktiken helfen können, die gegenwärtigen klimatischen und ökologischen Herausforderungen zu meistern. Mit dabei waren der deutsche Bio-Milchbauer Felix Riecken, der Wissenschaftler Yann de Mey, der Bio-Unternehmer Lubomir Nokov, die Vertreterin der Junglandwirte Katharina Schobersberger und Barthélemy Lanos von der Europäischen Kommission.

Canada's agriculture and agri-food industry is rethinking its reliance on the U.S. as political uncertainty south of the border continues to raise concerns for producers and industry leaders. A new report from the Angus Reid Institute and the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) finds that four out of five agriculture professionals are pessimistic about dealings with the second Trump presidency. Despite those concerns, seven-in-10 say they remain optimistic about the overall future of Canadian agriculture.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, presented by Caddle, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois open with a wide-ranging conversation on global trade tensions, the state of Canadian agriculture, and the latest policy moves shaping our food economy — before turning to the fascinating story of Stephen Mitchell, President of Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery, Ontario's only beachfront winery on the Lake Erie North Shore.Michael and Sylvain begin by unpacking the economic aftershocks of U.S. tariff wars, as soybean farmers in America face devastating losses and look for government bailouts amid shifting Chinese trade alliances. Sylvain, speaking from Purdue University in Indiana, shares first-hand insights from conversations with American farmers reeling from collapsed exports and rising equipment costs. The hosts then pivot to the EV tariff dispute between Canada, China, and the U.S., discussing whether Ottawa should drop tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to save Canadian canola farmers — a debate intensified by security concerns and diplomatic pressures. They also explore evolving Canada–India trade relations, the potential of government-run grocery stores, and Canada's climb to #7 in the Global Agri-Food Most Influential Nations report released on World Food Day, produced in partnership with MNP.Then, Michael introduces Stephen Mitchell for a compelling look at the business of craft wine in Ontario. Stephen recounts the family story behind Sprucewood Shores — from his father's dream of returning to his farming roots to the hands-on creation of a 52-acre lakeside vineyard and winery. He describes how the business evolved from a weekend “hobby farm” into a major local producer, now recognized for its Beach Glass Series, Classic Series, and signature Warm & Cozy mulled wine, distributed through the LCBO and beyond. Stephen details how the winery balances tradition with innovation — focusing on approachability, sustainability, and product diversification — while investing to capture new market momentum as Ontario's wine industry gains visibility and political support. He also shares marketing lessons learned through social media, tastings, and direct-to-consumer engagement, underscoring that success in wine is about constant connection and storytelling.Link Global Agri-Food Most Influential Nations interactive site and report released on World Food Day, produced in partnership with MNPhttps://www.mnp.ca/en/clients/food-and-beverage-processing/momentum-is-building-canadas-rise-in-global-agri-food#reportLink to Whole Foods trends report 2026https://www.freshfruitportal.com/news/2025/10/13/whole-foods-trends-2026/.  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

In this episode of The Truth About Ag, Evan and Kristjan are joined by two key leaders in Canadian agriculture - Justine Hendricks, CEO of FCC, and Darren Baccus, EVP of Agri-Food, Agribusiness Alliances and FCC Capital.The conversation is anchored in one of the most ambitious investment announcements in Canadian ag history: FCC Capital's $2 billion commitment to accelerate innovation in agriculture and food. It's about what this funding makes possible and how it's already being deployed. In just 18 months, the team has already moved nearly $200 million into the sector.They discuss the strategy behind the announcement, how stakeholder voices helped shape the direction, and why it's so important to bring new types of investors into ag. The conversation digs into the challenges of educating investors, the work it takes to de-risk innovation, and the unique complexity of building and running a modern farm business.Because while everyone agrees on the need to increase productivity, the root causes holding us back are more layered than they appear. And if we're going to solve the big problems, we need bold investments, honest conversations and a shared understanding of what's really at stake.

“Food is Medicine” is extremely popular right now, and a few facts suggest it might be more than just a trend. The U.S. alone spends something like $1.5 trillion annually on diet-related diseases, and key issues like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and other diseases are on the rise around the world. There are costly interventions available to manage many of these problems, but an increasing body of research suggests that some of the least invasive (and most affordable) interventions don't come in a pill or vial, but in a grocery basket. Agrifood tech is definitely not sitting on the sidelines. We're seeing a new wave of startups emerging in this space, building on the lessons of food businesses of the past. To explore this trend, we spoke with one such founder– Brad McNamara, CEO and Founder at Morrissey Market, a “food is medicine” distribution startup. Brad was formerly at Freight Farms, a vertical farming company that strove to sell, not the produce, but the farm itself, in the form of a tech-enabled shipping container-sized farm.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

IFPRI Policy Seminar The Future of Youth Jobs in Agrifood Systems in Africa Hosted by IFPRI, the CGIAR Policy Innovations Program, the CGIAR Gender Equality and Inclusion Accelerator, and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) July 15, 2025 Africa's population is the youngest of any region, affording the continent an adequate workforce to drive economic and social transformation. However, African economies are finding it difficult to create employment opportunities for this “youth bulge”—opportunities that are needed to advance on SDG target 8.6 to substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training (NEET). As of 2020, more than 20 percent of young men and women in Africa fell into this category. African youth wield growing political and social power as they vent their frustrations about the lack of opportunities. Although youth-led protests and their underlying causes are not new in Africa, the recent movements represent an important moment for the region's youth. The agrifood system in Africa remains the backbone of national economies and provides more than half of jobs in most African countries. Thus, it still holds substantial potential to absorb or catalyze youth engagement in productive activities in Africa. But this change will not happen by itself. It will require sustained efforts in policy research and development. While much of the literature and debate on the employment crisis have focused on the role of agriculture in absorbing Africa's youth, the scope of debate and research should be expanded to include the role of youth across the entire food system. Introduction and Opening Remarks Sandra Cristina Kothe Milach, Chief Scientist, CGIAR Alice Ruhweza, President, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Steven Were Omamo, Director for Africa, and Director for Development Strategies and Governance, IFPRI Jobs in Agrifood System in Africa Luc Christiaensen, Lead Agricultural Economist, Eastern and Southern Africa, World Bank Landscape of youth engagement in agrifood system in selected African countries Kibrom Abay, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Youth aspirations and constraints in Nigeria/Rwanda Jessica Heckert, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Initiatives to support young women: learnings from AGRA Catherine Rusagara, Head, Youth Entrepreneurship for the Future of Food and Agriculture, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) Panel Discussion: How can Africa create more jobs for the youth: Cases and success stories from youth-led initiatives and experiences?

In Season 5, Episode 33 of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois deliver a dynamic episode split between urgent food policy news and an in-depth interview with Jake Karls, Co-Founder and Chief Rainmaker of the powerhouse better-for-you brand Mid-Day Squares.Kicking off with the news segment, Sylvain and Michael break down Canada's approaching election and the glaring lack of meaningful agricultural policy across party platforms. While the NDP pushes for price freezes and a windfall tax on grocers, the Liberals and Conservatives offer little in the way of innovation or supply chain resilience. The hosts also tackle the impact of Ottawa's retaliatory tariffs, which drive food inflation and force Canadian grocers to de-Americanize sourcing. This effort comes with significant costs to consumers. They also discuss the potential discontinuation of the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup and the increasing scrutiny of petroleum-based food dyes like Red #40, calling science and public perception into question.The second half features an electrifying interview with Jake Karls, who updates listeners on Mid-Day Squares' journey since his last appearance. From humble condo kitchens beginning to producing over 130,000 chocolate bars daily, Jake shares how building an in-house manufacturing facility—rather than relying on co-packers—enabled product consistency, brand authenticity, and rapid scaling. He dives into the challenges of being a media-first company, the evolution of its storytelling strategy, and its pivot into new product categories beyond chocolate.Jake opens up about battling cocoa price surges, securing supply chains, and staying BRC-certified. He also previews Mid-Day Squares' upcoming expansion to triple output capacity, pushing the brand toward $225 million in potential revenue. The conversation closes on a powerful note about the importance of storytelling in entrepreneurship and building brand trust at scale.Whether you're a CPG entrepreneur, policy wonk, or retail trend-watcher, this episode offers an unfiltered look at macro-level food system dynamics and the bold entrepreneurial journey reshaping the snack aisle across North America.

Autocoupler, based in Co. Kilkenny, was today announced as the winner of the 2025 AgTechUCD One to Watch Award at the completion of University College Dublin's (UCD) fourth AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme at UCD Lyons Farm. The patented Autocoupler system allows a loader to attach to any agricultural implement, automatically coupling the loader's hydraulic circuit to the implement and then locking the implement in place with the loader's locking system. The novel Autocoupler system makes changing implements quick and easy, with no delays or time loss in comparison to existing manual and time-consuming systems. In addition, the Autocoupler system has safety advantages over conventional systems as the operator does not have to leave the cab of the machine when attaching or disconnecting any attachment or implement. The 12-week AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme, tailored to address the needs and challenges facing AgTech and Agrifood start-ups, was focused on fast tracking the business development and leadership skills of participants and on providing them with the support and guidance needed to accelerate the growth and development of their start-ups. Gary Ryan, Director, AgTechUCD, said, "I would like to congratulate Autocoupler, on being named the overall winner of our fourth AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme. This programme supports the commercial development of the participating start-ups by helping them to further develop their innovative solutions, enhance their marketplace visibility, attract new customers and investors and build new partnerships at home and further afield. I wish Autocoupler every success for the future as they continue their entrepreneurial journey." Seamus Kenny, founder, Autocoupler, said, "It is a great honour for me to accept the 2025 AgTechUCD One to Watch Award following the completion of the latest AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme. Our next step is to target the agricultural and construction implement manufacture market with our novel system which allows loader operators to change an implement without leaving their seat, in 4 seconds, at the touch of a button." He added, "I would like to thank AgTechUCD and Enterprise Ireland for their ongoing support and also to thank Noreside Engineering Group, who have supported the physical engineering and prototype phase of developing the Autocoupler system, and acknowledge the financial support and advice received from the Kilkenny Local Enterprise Office." Thirty-four (34) start-ups have now completed the four AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme delivered to date. Start-ups which have completed the programmes include; Cotter AgriTech, Moonsyst, MyGug, OptaHaul, Pitseal, Proveye, Silicate, and TrojanTrack. AgTechUCD, which is part of NovaUCD, is focused on promoting and accelerating the launch and scaling of start-ups and SMEs, in Ireland and internationally, with disruptive innovations in the agtech, agri-food and vettech sectors, as they build their innovative businesses into leading job creating companies on the global stage. AgTechUCD, funded through the Regional Enterprise Development Fund administered by Enterprise Ireland, supports founding entrepreneurs as they build their innovative businesses into leading enterprises, through the AgTechUCD Agccelerator Programme, and by providing access to incubation offices and labs and preferred access to on-farm testing for new products and services at UCD Lyons Farm.
