Laura also weighs in on the rise of alternative proteins and blended meat products, highlighting recent research showing their increasing consumer acceptance, especially among omnivores.She speaks candidly about the role of AI in journalism, the importance of authentic storytelling, and why she would never buy an AI-generated cookbook.

In this insightful summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Keith Currie, President at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, live from the floor of SIAL Toronto. Representing more than 190,000 farmers and ranchers across the country and an eighth-generation farmer himself, Currie provides a candid, wide-ranging view on the future of Canadian agriculture—and why it's time for policymakers to pay closer attention.Currie highlights that agriculture contributes more than $150 billion to Canada's GDP and employs 2.5 million Canadians, surpassing the combined total of the auto, forestry, oil and gas, and steel industries. Yet agriculture remains a "quiet success story," underrepresented in national economic strategy. He argues that improved connectivity between farm producers, food processors, retailers, and policymakers is essential for ensuring sustainable growth.Topics include the implications of carbon pricing on rural producers, where Currie underscores the infrastructure gap that limits farmers' ability to adopt greener technologies. He advocates for more innovative climate solutions—such as cap-and-trade and regionally tailored resiliency programs—that don't unfairly penalize producers while acknowledging that border carbon adjustments are rapidly approaching in trade policy.Currie also stresses the importance of regulatory reform, referencing Ontario's red tape reduction model as a blueprint. Trade remains a central pillar of his advocacy, particularly in addressing non-tariff barriers and ensuring that agreements are effectively enforced, especially in complex markets like India.On the issue of succession planning, Currie discusses tools now available to help multi-generational farm families transition wealth and ownership without heavy tax burdens. With rising land values and farm assets, he emphasizes the need for financial institutions and governments to support the next generation of agricultural leaders.Throughout the conversation, Currie brings passion, realism, and a long-view perspective on agriculture's unique position in the Canadian economy. He calls on policymakers to shift from viewing farming as a sector in need of aid to one of untapped potential and national strength.From food security to innovation and sustainability, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who eats, votes, or works in the food industry.

Tu ton mi son es un libro-disco donde una gran familia artística de cantautores y músicos adaptan, interpretan y hacen volar poemas de Julio Santiago. Una selección de veinte temas entre los más de doscientos musicalizados en estos últimos treinta años, donde Julio ha estado al servicio de las Bellas Artes en sus respectivos campos de la Poesía y la Pintura. «Sus poemas y cuadros, al igual que su creador, no entienden de normas ni fronteras, sólo de belleza y libertad». Como bien dijo de él su amigo Luis Eduardo Aute. (M.P.B.) Con la colaboración de: Lucía Caramés, Javi Morán, Moncho Otero, Juanlu Mora, Alejandro Martínez, Isabel Ortega, Rafa Mora, Carlos Ávila, Juan Antonio Loro, Chico Herrera, Antonio Toledo, Manu Clavijo, Pedro Pedrosa, Antonio de Pinto, Marta de la Aldea, Bartolomé Marín Aznar (Lito), Rosa Arroyo, Iñaki Hernández y Alberto de Rodrigo. IMPULSO Al principio del todo fue el sonido del mar bailando con el viento. Luego llegó el pálpito de la creadora y posteriormente un latido propio. Así comenzó la música dentro de las entrañas de la Tierra y, como réplica, en el útero materno. A partir de ahí vino todo lo demás? Parece increíble que hayan pasado cincuenta eneros desde que me mostraron la luz por primera vez y treinta desde que comencé a parir hijos propios y ajenos. Debo decir que estos versos que me nacen no son otra cosa que la fórmula precisa de poder admirar, amar y gozar la Belleza. Son muchos aliados emocionales los que se han ido uniendo paulatina y sigilosamente, durante estas tres últimas décadas, a este proyecto de musicalizar y cantar aquello que dibujo, escribo, pinto, beso y sueño. Estoy profundamente abrumado y agradecido por tanto apoyo altruista e incondicional, ojalá pueda corresponder a cada cual como bien merece. «Tu/ ton/ mi/ son./ (¿Entiendes?)». Es un poema depilado, que hace veintiocho años dediqué, junto a muchos otros, a mi querida amiga Gloria Fuertes, la principal responsable de que me encuentre hoy aquí, en Madrid, dedicándome a «trabajar el aire», como bien hubiera dicho mi admirado y añorado Ángel González. Era muy adecuado trastocarlo y ponerlo como título de este trabajo. Tu ton mi son. Tu palabra sea mi música. Tu latido, mi voz. Julio Santiago Julio Santiago TU TON MI SON.

In this special summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live at the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Toronto, co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois welcome two exceptional guests: Joanne McArthur, President of Nourish Food Marketing and co-chair of the SIAL Innovation jury, and Chantal Van Winden, CEO of Olimega and this year's SIAL Innovation Gold Medal winner. The episode dives deep into Chantal's award-winning product—Camelina oil with a buttery flavour—unpacking its health benefits, sustainable production, and commercial potential.Chantal shares the remarkable 18-year journey behind the development of camelina oil, a uniquely Canadian innovation. With 35% Omega-3, high antioxidant content, and an exceptionally high smoke point (475°F), the oil is a healthy, locally grown alternative to avocado and olive oil. Grown in cold climates with short growing seasons, camelina thrives in Northern Quebec and supports sustainable farming practices, including soil health improvement and pollinator partnerships with beekeepers.Joanne offers behind-the-scenes insight into the SIAL Innovation judging process, where over 170 products from more than 70 countries are evaluated. She highlights the rigorous selection process and emphasizes why Chantal's camelina oil stood out—not just for its health properties but also for its taste, innovation, and commercial viability. The buttery flavour was developed through natural aroma infusion and is particularly suited for applications like popcorn—a detail that excited the hosts and exemplifies the product's consumer appeal.Beyond its nutritional edge, camelina oil tells a compelling Canadian story—rooted in agricultural innovation, sustainability, and female entrepreneurship. Chantal recounts how the crop was initially planted to improve soil health on her family farm and later developed into a premium oil after discovering its omega-rich properties. With demand rising internationally—35% of Olimega's business is export-based—she now has a waitlist of Canadian farmers eager to grow the crop.Tune in to hear how this buttery Canadian oil may be the next pantry staple and discover what it takes to win one of the most prestigious awards in food innovation.

In this special summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, host Michael LeBlanc brings listeners straight to the SIAL Food Innovation Show floor for a flavorful conversation with Chef Jonathan Maters, co-founder of Smokin Jon's BBQ & Company. Born in Newfoundland and based in New Brunswick, Jonathan shares how a pandemic-era pivot turned his passion for barbecue into a growing food enterprise capturing the attention of retailers and food lovers alike.Jonathan walks us through his culinary roots, detailing how he started with a single signature sauce—Smoky Maple—bottled and sold from his backyard deck. With demand quickly outpacing his capacity, he moved into Class 5 kitchens and later secured a co-packing partner to scale his product line. Now, with a robust lineup of unique, clean-label barbecue sauces, hot sauces, and spice rubs, Smokin' Jon's is turning heads across Canada.From the Cuban-inspired Cubana BBQ sauce (orange juice, cumin, and oregano!) to the fiery Carolina Reaper sauce and low-sodium, filler-free spice blends, Jonathan emphasizes innovation, authenticity, and health-conscious ingredients. He shares how packaging design and colour-coded branding help his products stand out on crowded shelves.Jonathan also opens up about the hard realities of food entrepreneurship—from navigating CFIA and FDA regulations to the steep costs of national shelf space, and his evolving relationship with major retailers like Sobeys and Loblaws. He reflects on the role of local government support, challenges in accessing infrastructure, and the importance of marketing hustle, including a growing Instagram following built on grassroots cooking content.Listeners will appreciate Jonathan's frank insights on building a business from scratch, his strategic use of flavour storytelling, and his advice to fellow food entrepreneurs: “You'll hear ten no's for every yes—but that one yes is everything.”This episode is packed with practical inspiration, tasty ideas, and a genuine look behind the scenes of a fast-growing Canadian food brand. Whether you're a barbecue enthusiast, aspiring food entrepreneur, or retail insider, this conversation will leave you fired up and hungry for more.https://smokinjonsbbq.ca/ The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

They note a growing demand for diverse flavors and ethnic cuisines, as well as a strategic pivot by companies to balance foodservice and retail sales post-pandemic.Sylvain highlights how COVID reshaped supply chains, pushing businesses to avoid overreliance on single sectors and prompting innovations that blur lines between restaurant and retail offerings. They discuss ongoing tariff challenges, food inflation stabilizing, and the complex impact of retaliatory tariffs on Canadian importers and exporters.Shifting gears, the duo analyze Canada's post-election political landscape, unpacking what Mark Carney's new government could mean for agri-food policy, carbon taxation, and Canada's trade relationships with the U.S. and Mexico. They speculate about potential reforms to supply management and agri-stability programs, while exploring Western Canadian frustrations over political representation and federal agricultural policy.The second half features an exclusive interview with Martin Lavoie, President & CEO of Groupe Export Agroalimentaire Québec-Canada, Canada's largest agri-food export association.

He underscores the importance of reducing interprovincial trade barriers to unlock growth and reveals the criteria behind Group Export's annual Export Gala awards.Wrapping up, Michael and Sylvain reflect on Michael Medline's upcoming retirement from Sobeys, discussing his leadership legacy and impact on the grocer's national growth and industry advocacy.

En France, depuis un an, l'aide sociale à l'enfance a l'obligation de placer les mineurs qui lui sont confiés dans des structures dédiées. Pourtant, de nombreux jeunes étrangers non accompagnés sont hébergés dans des hôtels, avec très peu de suivi social et éducatif. Dans l'Essonne, au sud de Paris, au moins sept hôtels hébergeraient, pour le département, des jeunes étrangers, selon une estimation de l'association Utopia 56. Rencontre avec deux adolescents camerounais en attente de solutions. « Là, il est 23 heures, tu es en train de dormir et tu entends l'alarme comme ça. Là, c'est quelqu'un qui a fumé dans la chambre. C'est tout le temps comme ça, tu ne peux pas dormir. C'est tout le temps comme ça, c'est comme ça... » Sur son portable, Théodore montre les images filmées à l'intérieur de la chambre d'hôtel où l'aide sociale à l'enfance l'a placé provisoirement. Impossible de passer une nuit tranquille. Il ne s'y sent pas en sécurité :« Vous ne pouvez pas mélanger des mineurs avec des majeurs et des gens qui viennent polluer l'hôtel et faire autre chose. Les toilettes ne sont pas hygiéniques, donc à tout moment, toi tu peux prendre une infection. Ou même les stupéfiants, ça se fume souvent dans les douches. »Très vite, les jours se transforment en semaines, puis en mois. Théodore se lie d'amitié avec Sial, autre jeune âgé de 16 ans, comme lui, qui attend d'être placé dans une structure adaptée : « Moi, je suis resté dix mois, alors que normalement, on était censé faire quelques semaines et on devait me placer dans une structure. Mais jusqu'à présent, pas de suite. »À lire aussiLa maison Claire Morandat, un refuge pour les jeunes majeurs qui sortent de l'aide sociale à l'enfancePourtant, la loi interdit formellement de placer des jeunes dans des hôtelsPourtant, comme le rappelle l'avocate Johanne Sfaoui, la loi Taquet adoptée en 2022 encadre strictement le placement des mineurs confiés à l'aide sociale à l'enfance, qu'ils soient français ou étrangers : « Il y a, par la loi, une interdiction absolue de placer des jeunes dans des hôtels. C'est très clair. En cas d'urgence, une dérogation est possible, mais les mineurs seront placés pendant une durée maximum de deux mois dans des centres de vacances et des structures de jeunesse. »Les passages des intervenants sociaux sont rares et les journées sont longues pour les deux garçons qui, malgré leurs évaluations de niveau, ne sont toujours pas scolarisés. « Ils nous ont dit qu'ils cherchaient un établissement, mais pour l'instant, il n'y a rien », explique Sial. Théodore ajoute : « Ils m'ont dit que j'allais normalement rejoindre un lycée, mais que je devais attendre jusqu'en septembre. Et en attendant, on tourne, on tourne... Le soir, on se couche, le matin, c'est pareil... »Contacté par mail, le département de l'Essonne dit avoir été obligé d'héberger des jeunes en hôtel et travaille à réduire ces hébergements alternatifs. Théodore sort de sa poche les tickets-repas que se partagent les deux garçons : cinq euros pièce. C'est la seule contribution quotidienne du département. Cinq euros par jour à dépenser, car les repas ne sont pas fournis dans l'hôtel où ils viennent d'être à nouveau transférés pour une durée indéterminée.À lire aussiMineurs étrangers placés à l'hôtel et déscolarisés: l'Aide sociale à l'enfance du Nord pointée du doigt

Salonul agroalimentar de la Paris a ajuns la a 60-a ediție. Anul acesta, tradiționalul eveniment se desfășoară în perioada 19-23 octombrie și organizatorii își propun să atingă câteva recorduri: sunt prezenți 7.500 de expozanți din 1.300 de țări, sunt așteptați 285.000 de vizitatori din 200 de țări, sunt prezentate 400.000 de produse expuse pe o suprafață totală de 145.000 de metri pătrați și și-au anunțat vizita 100 de delegații oficiale internaționale. La Salonul de la Paris vor fi prezenți 1.000 de jurnaliști din 57 de țări.Care sunt noutățile acestui an în materie de conferințe organizate cu ocazia SIAL? Au fost alese patru teme importante, și anume lanțurile de aprovizionare durabile, inteligența artificială, responsabilitatea socială a companiilor și tendințele în materie de gastronomie de pe continentul african.Ca de obicei, în cadrul SIAL va fi acordat un premiu al evenimentului. Anul acesta, premiul va fi dedicat temelor privind responsabilitatea socială a companiilor. Inițiativa marchează o nouă etapă în angajamentul salonului agroalimentar pentru promovarea practicilor durabile și responsabile social ale industriei alimentare la nivel global. La SIAL, participă 90 de producători români din industria alimentară.Sindicatele fermierilor francezi, implicate în promovarea profesiilor agricoleCel mai puternic sindicat al fermierilor francezi, Federația Națională a Sindicatelor Agricultorilor (FNSEA), se implică într-o amplă campanie de promovare a profesiilor agricole în rândul tinerilor care se află la vârsta de orientare vocațională, se arată într-un material de informare publicat pe site-ul organizației. Acțiunile sindicatului, care se derulează în parteneriat cu un operator dedicat activităților de formare profesională în Franța, se concentrează pe crearea de conținut multimedia și pe mobilizarea influencerilor. Scopul este de a capta atenția tinerelor generații și de a evidenția carierele posibile în sectoarele agricol, alimentar și pescuit. În același timp, federația sindicală își încurajează membrii să devină ambasadori ai noii imagini a agriculturii și ai meseriilor din domeniu, care evoluează datorită inovațiilor tehnologice. Rezultatele campaniei sunt încurajatoare: peste o sută de milioane de afișări generate în doar cinci luni și aproape 5 milioane de vizualizări pentru videoclipurile realizate cu influenceri.Copa-Cogeca celebrează Ziua internațională a femeilor din mediul ruralCopa-Cogeca a sărbătorit în data de 15 octombrie Ziua internațională a femeilor din mediul rural. A fost un prilej pentru a arăta rolul pe care îl joacă femeile agricultor și din mediul rural în sistemele alimentare și în dezvoltarea economică a zonelor rurale europene.„Trebuie să asigurăm oportunități egale pentru femei în toate domeniile agricole. A venit vremea să doborâm barierele și să încurajăm femeile să își asume inovația și roluri de lideri în agricultură”, a declarat Francesca Gironi, președinta Comitetului femeilor din Copa-Cogeca.Organizația participă la două proiecte cu finanțare europeană care sprijină dezvoltarea antreprenoriatului feminin și inovația în agricultură. Primul proiect, Grass Ceiling, promovează egalitatea de gen în sistemele rurale și agricole inovative, iar al doilea, GAEA, se referă la asigurarea accesului femeilor la locuri de muncă și antreprenoriat în sectorul agricol.Statele membre au votat pentru amânarea legii defrișărilor pădurilorStatele membre au aprobat propunerea Comisiei de a amâna cu un an data de aplicare a regulamentului privind defrișările. Această amânare va permite țărilor terțe, statelor membre, operatorilor și comercianților să se pregătească pentru respectarea obligațiilor care le revin, și anume să se asigure că produsele vândute în UE sau exportate din UE nu au fost rezultate în urma defrișărilor sau degradării pădurilor după 31 decembrie 2020, potrivit unui comunicat emis săptămâna trecută de Consiliul Uniunii Europene.Urmează ca Parlamentul European să adopte o decizie cu privire la poziția sa, cel mai probabil în sesiunea plenară din prima jumătate a lunii noiembrie, și, dacă va adopta propunerea Comisiei, normele cuprinse în regulamentul privind defrișările vor fi obligatorii începând cu 30 decembrie 2025 pentru marii operatori și comercianți și cu 30 iunie 2026 pentru microîntreprinderi și întreprinderi mici.Proiect de regulament pentru intervenții de urgențăComisia Europeană va propune un regulament care să permită statelor membre să utilizeze fondurile de dezvoltare rurală necheltuite în perioada 2014-2022, pentru a compensa fermierii afectați de dezastrele naturale din acest an, scrie euractiv.com. Măsura face parte dintr-un pachet mai larg, de aproximativ 18 miliarde de euro, care va fi redirecționat din fondurile structurale către intervenții de urgență adresate agricultorilor, proprietarilor de păduri și IMM-urilor din industria alimentară care au înregistrat pierderi în urma fenomenelor meteorologice extreme.Conform proiectului consultat de sursa citată, deși soluția va fi prezentată ca temporară, pentru a ajuta cele șase state membre lovite de furtuna Boris – Polonia, România, Austria, Cehia, Ungaria, Slovacia – și Portugalia devastată de incendiile forestiere din septembrie, flexibilitatea va fi acordată tuturor țărilor UE afectate de vremea extremă.

But, with young kids underfoot and existing careers in progress, starting a business together was always just a passing comment.As the years went by we raised kids (lots of girls), worked together, and became friends. Then a global pandemic hit—everything slowed down. No time for ourselves as parents without child care, but funny enough, lots of time to think.  And thought we did until the right idea finally came to us!Food became scarce for a while in the early months of the pandemic. Tofu was nearly impossible to get our hands on; in particular, Jenn's favourite brick of smoked tofu. And just like that, an idea was born; if we can't buy flavoured tofu, we'll make our own! And we'll make it even better than ever.So here we are, putting ourselves (and our recipes) out there for the world to judge! We love what we do, we love tofu and we hope you will too!About AmyMy dream has always been to start a business... with 18 years of experience and the most passionate "work spouse" anyone could ask for, Epic Tofu is finally here! I have had the privilege of working with some of the worlds finest entrepreneurs and I have done every "job in the building". Thanks to these experiences (and of course a ridiculous amount of hard work) Epic Tofu will become synonymous in Canada with "the best natural, marinated plant based protein on the market"... Bold I know, but there's no other way to dream!About JenniferJenn is a Marketing and Communications nerd whose experience spans the consumer packaged goods, retail and government industries. A communicator at heart, Jenn spent her career helping companies build better relationships with their customers by telling the stories that make their brands truly unique.Now, Jenn is building her own brand as co-founder of Epic Tofu—a self-funded plant-based food start up. They're challenging the plant-based industry with full-flavour marinated tofu products that are so epic, even tofu haters love them. About ColleenColleen has been working in the Retail industry for close to 25 years with a proven track record in growing businesses by providing strategic direction and leadership to merchandising and marketing teams. At Caddle, Colleen is responsible for driving revenue growth and maximizing profitability within the organization.
