Getting more local food onto Northern Ontario plates is mandate for Sault organization
Northern Ontario’s agricultural sector, like most others across the globe, did not escape the pandemic unscathed.
RAIN’s vision, according to their website, is to close those gaps in the chain, and ease pressure on the agri system by building a resilient farm network in the region through innovative research and agricultural development projects.One of their recent initiatives, called the Sustainable New Agri-Food Products and Productivity program, has already helped producers adapt to the changing times, Thompson said.
SNAPP also assisted St. Joseph Island Coffee Roasters in their purchase of a 12-pound Sivetz fluid bed coffee roaster to increase roasting capacity. This equipment upgrade enabled the business to increase roasting capacity by 50 per cent, and also now allows them to respond to growing customer needs and increased opportunities for partnerships with other local partners.
“The next few years, what we really want to focus on is, is further looking at how we can assist entrepreneurs and producers with value chain development,” Thompson said.
