Myth: Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) intellectual property (IP) protection reduces genetic and varietal diversity. Fact: PBR incentivizes and rewards plant breeding, the act of creating new innovation. Since 1991, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, PBR Office has recieved applications for 11835 new plant varieties covering 411 different crop kinds, and this continues to grow! Plant breeding is a time-consuming, expensive, and resource intensive activity. PBR encourages creativity, risk-taking, and ingenuity (public and private sectors alike), which in turn brings a wide diversity of options and choices to our farmers and growers. #UPOV #PlantBreedersRights #PlantInnovation

Each basket of peppers tells a story of hard work and dedication 🌶️👨🌾 At the heart of everything we do lies a simple yet powerful goal: supporting our clients every step of the way. From planting the first seeds to the final harvest, it’s their hard work, dedication, and commitment that ensure success. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing that process unfold in the fields. Recently, we had the privilege of visiting one of our long-term partners at the peak of their pepper harvest. Witnessing the culmination of months of collaboration firsthand reminds us that it’s not just about delivering high-quality products – it’s about the lasting relationships we build, rooted in mutual trust and shared goals. These field visits offer moments of reflection. They remind us that agriculture is not just a process but a partnership. The best outcomes happen when knowledge, innovation, and effort come together. We are deeply grateful for the trust our clients place in us and proud to support their growth. As the harvest season continues, we look forward to more opportunities to collaborate and thrive, side by side. 🤝🌱 #PepperHarvest #HardWorkAndDedication #FarmersFirst #CollaborationMatters #SustainableFarming #FieldToFork #GrowingTogether #FarmingWithPurpose #CALDENA
