n Season 5 of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois take listeners inside the bustling SIAL Food Innovation Show in Toronto, bringing fresh insights on global food trends and the shifting dynamics of agri-food trade. The episode kicks off with their live reflections on the show floor, surrounded by global exhibitors from Brazil, Peru, Jamaica, and Italy. 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. Martin shares how his organization supports over 450 Quebec food exporters through trade shows, market intelligence, and export services. He explains how diversification strategies are evolving amid global tariff volatility, why intra-Canada trade holds untapped potential, and how government procurement could boost domestic food producers.Martin also addresses the challenges of breaking into international markets like Europe, where food economies remain hyper-local, while noting rising demand in Asia and Mexico. 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. They also celebrate T&T's continued U.S. expansion and the launch of Loblaws' Maxi stores outside Quebec.Tune in for expert insights on the evolving agri-food export landscape, retail's competitive shifts, and the policies shaping Canada's food industry future.

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

Cheese and Wine Week et Musée du Fromage / Bilan du SIAL et démarrage d'Equiphôtel

Le Salon international de l'alimentation (Sial), qui se tient tous les deux ans à Paris, s'est déroulé la semaine dernière au Parc des expositions de Villepinte, au nord de la capitale. Cinq jours pendant lesquels l'ensemble des acteurs du secteur agroalimentaire se sont réunis pour parler business, innovation ou pour réfléchir sur des solutions à apporter à des problématiques du secteur. Sur 3 700 participants, seule une soixantaine de pays africains étaient présents. En Afrique, la grande majorité des emplois agricoles est occupée par des femmes. Et pourtant, elles sont peu nombreuses à participer à des événements comme le Sial. Mais cette année, une tendance se dessine. Malgré de multiples difficultés telles que l'accès aux terres et aux financements, de plus en plus de femmes relèvent le défi de l'entrepreneuriat agricole, un secteur jusque-là réservé aux hommes. C'est une nouvelle génération de femmes africaines engagées et très motivées qui participe pour la première fois au Sial. Née au Congo, Sandrine Vasselin Kabonga a quitté son travail de conseillère financière il y a une dizaine d'années pour fonder Misao Spices, une entreprise de production et de distribution d'épices d'Afrique centrale, et surtout de la République démocratique du Congo : « En RDC, on n'a pas de filière de production des épices professionnelles comme elles peuvent exister à Madagascar, Zanzibar ou en Asie. Donc c'est vraiment de l'agroforesterie. C'est travailler avec les communautés locales, les communautés paysannes, les producteurs. On va cueillir, sécher, faire toute la transformation si je puis dire localement, donc créer de l'emploi autour de ça. Mais on reste sur le marché de niche, donc vraiment sur des produits de qualité. »Les modes de consommation changent...Des produits de qualité, c'est également ce que Lydia Mérouche veut promouvoir dans son pays. Après avoir été avocate pendant plusieurs années, cette Algérienne a fondé en 2016 Fossoul Agricol, une société spécialisée dans la production de fruits et légumes bios de saison :« Ma présence aujourd'hui ici au Sial représente mon engagement dans l'alimentation, l'alimentation en Algérie, l'alimentation en Afrique, et tout simplement l'alimentation durable. Parce qu'on sait aujourd'hui que l'alimentation durable est un enjeu environnemental et un enjeu de santé publique et notre santé en dépend. Et la santé passe aussi par ce qu'il y a dans nos assiettes. Et c'est pour ça qu'en tant qu'avocate, j'ai décidé de ranger ma robe et d'enfiler mes bottes d'agricultrice pour militer pour une agriculture saine et durable en Algérie et en Afrique. »... pour une recherche de qualité authentiqueJessica Allogo est une autre entrepreneure africaine présente au Sial. Cette ancienne ingénieure dans l'industrie pétrolière a créé il y a huit ans les Petits Pots de l'Ogooué, une entreprise de transformation agroalimentaire au Gabon : « C'est vrai que les premières années, c'était difficile... L'accès au marché n'était pas simple. Mais en huit ans, j'ai beaucoup vu le paysage changer, les modes de consommation changer. Le consommateur africain aujourd'hui est vraiment en quête de produits plus authentiques, de produits locaux qui valorisent le patrimoine, et il y a aussi une notion vraiment de solidarité, d'accompagner les entrepreneurs locaux et de participer finalement à l'économie et à faire vivre des transformateurs comme nous et, du coup, d'améliorer les conditions de vie des communautés. »Hommes ou femmes, il y a de la place pour tout le monde dans le secteur agricole. Jean-Luc Luboya Tshichimbi est producteur et exportateur de fruits et légumes à Kinshasa en RDC. « Nos activités, c'est plus dans les produits frais, on a 30 % du marché local sur Kinshasa et on a 70 % sur l'exportation », explique-t-il.Un taux d'exportation qui devrait augmenter, car ce producteur congolais a pu signer de nouveaux contrats lors du Sial.À lire aussiFrance: la difficile transition écologique des agriculteurs

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.
