    Rigorous science + compelling stories so society and nature thrive

    It is that exciting time in the journey of McCain Foods' Farm of the Future Canada where you can start expecting to see the co-creation and synergistic potential of academic and industry minds! Our partnership with the incredible scientists at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada/ Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada is moving from the field to the peer-reviewed page, ensuring sound and actionable insights for the business and our grower partners. I'm thrilled to share this fantastic new paper by lead author David Andres Ramirez Gonzalez and dear colleague, Athyna Cambouris. Their research demonstrates how we can use precision agriculture to create smarter, more sustainable management zones in our potato fields. Congrats to the entire team on this important milestone! 🔗 Read the full open-access study here: https://lnkd.in/eAsiabmS

    I’m happy to share our new research published in Remote Sensing (MDPI) 🎉 A big thank you to my co-authors and supervisors Karem Chokmani, Athyna Cambouris, and Michelle Lynn D'Souza, PhD for their support. 📌 Title: Delineation of Management Zones Based on the Agricultural Potential Concept for Potato Production Using Optical Satellite Images 💡 Why it matters: Traditional management zone (MZ) delineation often requires intensive soil sampling and specialized equipment, making precision agriculture costly and hard to scale. Our study proposes a multi-year, multi-sensor NDVI composite approach (Sentinel-2 & Landsat 8) to efficiently map spatial and temporal variability in potato fields at farm scale. This offers a cost-effective way to understand agricultural potential over large areas. 🌱 Implications: Using freely available satellite data, our method can reduce reliance on expensive soil sampling, enabling more sustainable, data-driven, and regenerative management strategies. Growers can optimize inputs, boost productivity, and improve long-term soil health at both field and farm scales. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eV8cuHJf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Je suis heureux de partager notre nouvelle étude publiée dans Remote Sensing (MDPI) 🎉 Mes remerciements à mes co-auteurs et superviseurs Karem Chokmani, Athyna Cambouris et Michelle Lynn D'Souza, PhD pour leur soutien. 💡 Pourquoi c’est important : La délimitation traditionnelle des zones d’aménagement (ZA) nécessite souvent un échantillonnage intensif du sol et du matériel spécialisé, rendant l’agriculture de précision coûteuse et difficile à déployer. Notre étude propose une approche composite NDVI multi-années et multi-capteurs (Sentinel-2 & Landsat 8) pour cartographier efficacement la variabilité spatiale et temporelle dans les champs de pommes de terre au niveau de la ferme, offrant une méthode rentable pour évaluer le potentiel agricole à grande échelle. 🌱 Implications : Grâce aux données satellitaires libres d’accès, cette méthode permet de réduire la dépendance aux campagnes coûteuses d’échantillonnage du sol et favorise des stratégies de gestion durables, basées sur les données et régénératives. Les producteurs peuvent optimiser leurs intrants, améliorer la productivité et renforcer la santé du sol à long terme. 📖 Lire l’article : https://lnkd.in/eV8cuHJf #Research, #PrecisionAgriculture, #RemoteSensing, #PotatoProduction #INRS, #AAFC

    Delighted to have had the opportunity to visit the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, UK last week to learn about how the Estate is putting sustainable farming principles into practice. It was inspiring to see the amazing work underway through conservation management and land stewardship. This farm visit was also part of the “Routes to Regen” program, created through His Majesty’s Sustainable Markets Initiative Agribusiness Hub. McCain has had the honour of Chairing the Routes to Regen program over the past year, which has piloted a new model, aiming to simplify the incentives and support for farmers looking to make the transition to regenerative farming in the East of England. We took the opportunity to discuss the first year of activity and receive valuable input from members. Thank you to The Royal Countryside Fund, Ceres Rural and Tor Harris MVO for being excellent delivery and project partners, Edward Parsons and Ted Holmes for hosting us and guiding us around the Estate, and to the farmers who attended—your feedback is instrumental to our collective success. We look forward to continuing to work together with partners across food and finance to further refine the model for collaboration and scale.

    McCain Foods has entered into an agreement to acquire Penobscot McCrum, LLC, one of North America’s premier suppliers of frozen potato specialty products and family-owned business with a proud legacy in Maine.    This strengthens McCain’s North American footprint and builds momentum in the region. The transaction includes McCrum’s state-of-the-art processing facility in Washburn, which complements our nearby Easton plant—supporting local employment and regional supply resilience. The American Northeast is a key agricultural hub, and McCrum’s deep roots in Maine, provide a strong foundation to support farmers and bring more Maine-grown potatoes to tables across the country.    Together, we’ll continue delivering the high-quality delicious products and foods families love. #WeAreMcCain

    This week we've launched a new survey - ‘Farmdex’ – a national poll of UK farmers, which highlights both the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.   Despite the challenges, including climate volatility, rising input costs and complex geopolitical issues, there is a clear path forward. It is crucial that the farming industry is supported to protect the nation’s long-term resiliency and food security.    At McCain Foods, we are committed to supporting our 250 growers across the UK through long-term partnerships based on practical support.   But we know we can’t do it alone – only through collective action with businesses, industry and government will the future of the UK’s food security be protected. #WeAreMcCain #BritishAgriculture

    The findings from McCain’s first UK Farmdex Report shed light on both the realities and resilience of British farming today. Through the voices of farmers across the UK, the report captures the pressures shaping the sector, from economic uncertainty to climate change, as well as the optimism and innovation driving it forward. At McCain Foods, farming has always been at the heart of what we do. Reports like this reaffirm the importance of staying close to the challenges and opportunities within our farmer community, and of working collaboratively across the food system to help secure a sustainable future for British agriculture. #WeAreMcCain
