Local Food:
If you ask for it,
It will come.

Goals
• Understand where Food Hubs fit in the
food system
• Learn about a few different Ontario models
• Discover how Food Hubs can play a
bigger role in developing a Regional Food
System
3

Pros vs Cons
Pros
• Efficient
• Less costly
• Increased
seasonality
• Increased variety
• Increased volume

Cons
• Prohibited access
• Focused on Price
• Loss of Freshness
• Limits Diversity
• Increased Food
Safety Risk
6

Existing Food Hubs
• There are number of
different models in the
province
–
–
–
–

Kawartha Ecological Growers
100 Mile Foodservice
100 KM Foods
Wendy’s Mobile Market

9

Hybrid Model
• Fresh Start has operations
in Milton, London, Ottawa
• Each location can
generate a list of “regional”
partnerships
• Also enables Fresh Start
customers to access GFS’
larger local list including
dairy, meat and processed
foods
10

Ontario Food Terminal
Everybody wants one!
• Niagara/Hamilton
• SCOR
• Simcoe
• London
• Stratford
• Ottawa
This was BEFORE there was
funding.
11

What the Research Shows
• If you build it, will they come?
In short, NO
– Buyers have established networks that work, why would they
change them?

• Bricks and Motor costs outweigh the potential for profit.
– Research suggests using/leveraging existing infrastructure

12

Food Hub Grant Program
• How do we encourage the development of food hubs,
but prevent the “me too” syndrome?
Find the Problem & Ask the Right Question

• How do we help farmers increase access to market?

13

The Answer
• There is no one silver bullet.
– Food hubs, terminals, co-operatives and processors all have a
role to play

• The Solution:
– A more integrated distribution system, that is flexible and can
accommodate small, medium and large producers.
– A system that allows farmers to distinguish themselves on
quality, methods of production and point of origin.

14

Regional Food Hub Pilot
• Supply Chain Logistics
Support
• Determine Operating
Costs and Cost-Benefit of
Value Added Services for
Food Hubs
• Create a Business Model
• Conduct a Market
Assessment
• Analyze Pilot Results
• Write a Case Study

Proceedings available at: http://www.extension.org/67682 Traditionally, small feedlots and dairies have not been engaged in environmental regulations and awareness in Iowa due to the environmental focus being directed at large feedlots and confinement feeding operations. Many small feedlot and dairy managers do not even recognize or admit that regulations do apply to their livestock operation. This effort primarily uses traditional extension outreach methods, field days and publications, to raise awareness. Unique to this outreach effort are the goal to provide a producer network to share information and ideas to learn more about manure runoff control structures and best management practices to reduce impacts on water quality, and the focus on controls beyond minimum rule requirements, but tailored to small operations. This talk will discuss some of the challenges faced by small feedlot producers, identification of parameters to help producers overcome some of these challenges, and methods and educational materials aimed at helping raise environmental awareness and foster action among these producers.

Inclusive and Efficient Value Chains: Innovations, Scaling, and Way Forward

IFPRI-PIM

In the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM), market and related aspects have been mostly addressed by PIM Flagship 3: Inclusive and Efficient Value Chains. The team has been focusing on the evolving international, regional, and local contexts for agricultural markets, and investigating how value chains (VC) can be strengthened to generate more benefits for smallholders and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with differentiated opportunities for women, men, and youth. In this webinar on 22 November 2021, the team presented key findings from the Flagship’s work in 2017-2021 in three areas: 1) value chain innovations, 2) use of value chains for scaling CGIAR solutions, and 3) interactions between research and practice for value chain development.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka

addon Scans

As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions. Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says. This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots. To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare. Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself. Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places. Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages. Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

i3 Health

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource. This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma. STATEMENT OF NEED Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL. Target Audience Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Learning Objectives 1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL 2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults 3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
