Because there is a lack of consumer awareness about food and farming practices with almost no agriculture in the Ontario curriculum, AgScape works to dispel myths and increase interest and connection to food. Ontario\u2019s AgScape is one of the ten provincial members of Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) which is a cross-country team that strives to deliver programs, resources, and initiatives that engage, empower, and inspire with accurate, balanced, and current information that is based on science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AgScape celebrated 30 years of leading food and agriculture education at the 2021 AGM which had a theme of \u201cThriving in a Changing World\u201d. Minister Hardeman announced OMAFRA\u2019s commitment of support by investing $400,000 to AgScape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this past year the Teacher Ambassador lessons were expanded to enhance student knowledge of climate change and environmental impact through the lens of agriculture. Final tallies from 2020 showed resource requests were met from over 5,000 educators delivering over 35,000 resources provincially and providing students with over 409,000 engagements. Staff adapted to school\u2019s quadmester rotations as well as moved to bringing experts in virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C), along with its ten member organizations announced the national expansion of The Business of Food (BOF) thanks to a $450,000 multi-year partnership from Bayer Crop Science Canada and matching funding from the Canadian Agriculture Partnership (CAP) program. Business of Food is a comprehensive e-learning platform aimed at bringing knowledge about food and agriculture to education professionals &#8211; the majority of which come from urban areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AgScape staff continue to partner with Ontario commodity organizations to develop teaching resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re working with Ontario Bean Growers to launch a new teachers guide on the innovations of dry bean farming. This should be available as a part of Canadian agricultural literacy month for students in grades four to ten &#8211; highlighting the many opportunities in the bean agrifood sector such as bean breeders, weed scientists, plant pathologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AgScape is partnering with the Egg Farmers of Ontario to introduce a curriculum-linked egg resource, \u201cAn Exploration of Egg Farming in Ontario\u201c, a teacher guide for grades K-8. The guide includes themes such as the farm to table process of egg farming, the nutrients of eggs as part of a healthy diet as well as careers linked to the egg farming industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ontario Pork, together with AgScape, launched a 68-page resource which contains an overview of pig farming with three grade appropriate lesson plans with useful resources for Ontario educators. Topics include the history of pig farming, pig production and terminology, pig farming and the Canadian economy, human nutrition and health, pig farming and the environment, as well as others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a partnership with Beef Farmers of Ontario, a new teacher\u2019s guide has been completed &#8211; \u201cAn Exploration of Beef Farming in Ontario\u201d. Lesson plans include showing how coding, math, and design can play an important role in understanding nutrition and the health and well-being of beef cattle. This guide highlights \u201cthe great story there is to tell when it comes to beef\u201d as it relates to the environment, animal care, human nutrition and careers within this sector.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"COFS\"><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Crop Stop &#8211; Canada&#8217;s Outdoor Farm Show 2021 &#8211; Steve Sickle <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Cathy Dibble, RCC Thames Valley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s Outdoor Farm Show, in partnership with OSCIA, was pleased to present Crop Stop at the show site in September. The two-day event gave producers the opportunity to tour demo plots and talk agronomy with various input companies, see the latest and greatest machinery on display from several equipment suppliers, visit with many exhibitors and check out the OSCIA new demonstration trailer in action. The focus of Crop Stop was to bring the industry back together for in-person networking highlighting technology and new innovation in the cropping sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleven crop input companies were keen to establish plots at the site last spring, and eager to share their agronomic knowledge with producers in small group or one-on-one settings. Each company kicked off the morning with presentations to small groups touring the stops at the show, and then were able to engage with producers one-on-one as the day progressed. Equipment suppliers were happy to be able to bring new equipment lines and technology out to the event for growers to see and kick tires once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mobile Soil Technology Suite trailer includes a large, weatherproof LED screen, sound system including speakers and wireless microphones, digital cameras, and weigh scales. The trailer will be made available to OSCIA associations and other organizations across the province on a cost recovery basis and will include transport to events and technicians to operate the equipment. OSCIA was pleased to demonstrate the equipment for the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Honorable Lisa Thompson, during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the weather was not overly favourable for the two days of the show, it was still very much a social outing for many. Producers enjoyed the opportunity to get out, network with each other, and chat with the exhibitors at the event. OSCIA has had, and continues to have a long, strong working relationship with the Canada\u2019s Outdoor Farm Show team and were proud partners for Crop Stop 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"249\" src=\"http:\/\/annualreport2022.stagingoscia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annualreport2022.stagingoscia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture1.jpg 499w, https:\/\/annualreport2022.stagingoscia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Picture1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"FFCO\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Farm &amp; Food Care Ontario Year in Review &#8211; Eleanor Renaud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Amber Anderson, Communications Manager, Farm &amp; Food Care Ontario<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farm &amp; Food Care Ontario (FFCO) appreciates the continued support of members like the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) which enables the organization to continue the important work of building public trust in Ontario agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the ongoing COVID-19 realities of 2021, Farm &amp; Food Care Ontario (FFCO) continued to reimagine many of its traditional outreach programs and create new opportunities to engage with consumers both online and through in person events with pandemic protocols in place.&nbsp; With large followings on social media and strong website platforms, FFCO is able to extend its outreach programming, making 2021 a remarkably successful year, despite the complicated circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Training and Workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FFCO supports member groups, farmers and the broader agricultural industry through a variety of speaker services and training.

At the end of each event, they received a breakfast bag full of local, Ontario products like fresh fruits and vegetables, pancake mix and maple syrup, eggs, milk, cheese, bacon or sausage and more to make their own breakfasts at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual Food &amp; Farm Field Trips<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FFCO and AgScape continued a successful partnership 2021, offering a series of 26 livestreamed farm tours, including horticulture and grain crops as well as livestock operations, research and food processing facilities which reached a staggering audience of 269,000. These field trips gave viewers, including students and teachers, to connect with farmers in real-time.

This program seeks to build common ground between farmers and Ontario consumers through growing food together with farmers and food professionals across Ontario.&nbsp; In the spring of 2021, 500 participants&nbsp;of the sold out program received a box of seeds, gardening gloves, a gardening journal and connection to an online community of individuals and families across Ontario gardening together, many for the first time. 537 people joined our community online, participating in sessions related to all things gardening (and farming) including soil health, integrated pest management and crop rotation and received information and support for their gardening efforts.

Working with Farm &amp; Food Care offices in Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, the groups hosted three winter webinars on topics related to food labelling, COVID-19\u2019s effect on food service and international food trends. In November, FFCO again partnered with the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair to host a virtual version of the annual Food &amp; Nutrition Forum and connect with 215 attendees from the same target audience.

It has been a year of learning a new organization and one that I really didn\u2019t know what they do.&nbsp;The main focus of the group is to administer the testing and certification of CCA\u2019s across the province, but through the many active committees\u2019 directors strive to enrich the activities of the CCA community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research committee has been working on how the CCA association could contribute to implementing the Plan drafted by the Soil Action Group. Since this action plan has the potential to influence government, the committee feels that continued involvement with the Soil Action group is best for CCA\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure any of you that participate on twitter noticed this fall that many CCA\u2019s across the province added the CCA-ON to their twitter handle.&nbsp;This wasn\u2019t by accident but a very successful marketing campaign with a dangling carrot incentive of a prize and acclaim to be presented at the CCA conference in January.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likely the most fascinating part of the CCA board is the mentorship committee. This year 2 young CCA\u2019s were tasked with researching areas of their interest, Justin Brennan studied Western and Northern Corn Rootworm and learning from 88 sites across the province. Ashley Knapton is studying Gender\/Inclusion policies in ag organizations. A larger percentage of graduates of the OAC are female, yet far more men are CCA\u2019s. She presented on policies other organizations, like the Beef Farmers, have implemented and is working to develop Statements for the CCA website and suggests that the next strategic plan include discussions on gender equality and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This coming year the CCA\u2019s are hitting the road, with a planned bus trip to Eastern Ontario!&nbsp;6 tour stops are planned at local farms.&nbsp;The bus will pickup in 3 locations across Southern and Central Ontario on route to the east.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"OFC\"><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Ontario Forage Council &#8211; Birgit Martin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ontario Forage Council (OFC) organized 2 successful sets of virtual forums in 2021: Profitable Pastures in March, and Forage Focus in December.
