EVER SIT ON ONE OF THOSE BOARDS YOU HOPE THEY LET YOU STAY ON FOREVER? I guess it must be in the name: for me, it's Agriculture for Life. I started as a seedling director more than a decade ago when I worked with a company, Glacier FarmMedia, that is one of the Agriculture for Life founding partners. We do a wide range of things, with a great staff who partners with a great board. But all our initiatives, as diverse as they are, point to one highly resolved focus: creating and nurturing awareness around the uber-critical role the #agrifood sector plays in Canada's overall well-being. Then there's the country's global reputation as a sustainable agtech innovator and world food producer. And don't get me started on all the important work we do in the #farmsafety space. One of our latest efforts, of which we are very proud, is a unique energy-agriculture strategic advisory committee. Composed of more than 50 leaders from both sectors, we're focused on how cross-sectoral collaboration can crack some of the big challenges both industries face on air, water and land issues. The staff recently put together a very cool #yearbook for our stakeholders, reviewing our activities in 2023. Whether you gauge impact by the numbers, or by the context, it's powerful reading and well worth sharing to the broader community. Here's the link: https://lnkd.in/gWexh4nY.

This is really well done Bill Whitelaw . The disconnect between the reality of how our food is produced and how the general population (including youth) perceive it is staggering. Keep up the good work and well done!
Thankful to be a member of the Energy Agriculture Strategic Advisory Committee as part of the Agriculture for Life larger effort. We need to teach and learn more about the food we grow and eat!
Great stuff. Great results. Great leadership. Thanks
I know that exact feeling Bill Whitelaw as it has been an amazing honour and privilege serving on the board of Calgary United Soccer Association. It has been a decade for me and looking forward to more years of service.
