Grade Alike Planning (GAP)A job embedded, structured planning framework that infuses key pieces to students educational experiences.
This video goes over important details for being safe when working in or around grain bins.
Jump on the Great Canadian Farm Tour! Throughout the month of March, AITC-C is hosting 11 different farm tours focusing on the diversity of commodities across Canada.
Stopping in each province to co-host with our provincial member organizations, your students will LEARN about Canada’s exciting agriculture and food story, CONNECT and interact virtually with real farmers, and EXPERIENCE what it’s like on farms across the country.
This extraordinary learning opportunity will inspire your students, ignite their curiosity, and teach them about the important role agriculture plays in their lives, EVERY DAY!
This video shows an example of urban agriculture in Montreal using greenhouses on the roof of a building. This shows a great example of how agriculture and food production can take many forms.
GRoW is an advanced robot made for precision greenhouse harvesting. This machine will autonomously move throughout the greenhouse scanning and choosing vegetables ready to be picked from the vine. GRoW moves up and down the rows of the greenhouse unmanned and then is driven to the next row via a phone app. The phone app also lets you configure which ripeness to harvest and where on the vine to make the cut. GRoW will record and predict productivity to ensure optimum performance.
Due to the region’s extreme climate, the Yellowknife Co-op relied on imported produce from the South. This video shows the use of Growcer units to allow isolated communities to produce fresh produce year-round.
The idea behind this hierarchy is that the control methods at the top of the graphic are potentially more effective and protective than those at the bottom. Following this hierarchy normally leads to the implementation of inherently safer systems, where the risk of illness or injury has been substantially reduced.
Solving food shortages caused by droughts is a big challenge that may benefit from a tiny ally. Turns out that the microbes living in the soil around plants can give them a boost when water's scarce, which means more food for us, which is a big win!
This video demonstrates how cauliflower is harvested. This video was taken in Watsonville, California, and follows the harvesting, washing, and packing of cauliflower in the field. This video was used to demonstrate specialty farming and equipment needs.
This video outlines some examples of agricultural technology that is changing farming production.
In agriculture, it is important to have healthy soils. Learn how the laboratory at Dairy One analyzes soils and why the information they gather is vital to growers.
"The modern combine harvester, or simply combine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations—reaping, threshing, and winnowing—into a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers, and canola. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and plowed back in or baled for bedding and limited feed for livestock.
Combine harvesters are one of the most economically important labour-saving inventions, significantly reducing the fraction of the population engaged in agriculture."
This video focuses on the functions and features of a John Deere air seeder. It was used to show field crop equipment advances.
How does climate change affect agriculture? A changing climate makes growing conditions more difficult. This video by Syngenta talks specifically about how soil impacts agriculture and how soil improvements will be key to agriculture with climate change.
Short animation showing the grain drying process of MECMAR mobile grain dryers. Such dryers are flexible, reliable, and easy-to-use machines suitable for drying grain, corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, and oilseed rape.
A corn planter has to consistently put millions of seeds at the right depth and spacing. How does it do it? Joe Ligo looks inside a 4-row Kinze planter to find out.
A Parkview paramedic shares the best items to keep in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
Meghan Vankosky, Entomologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, breaks down sweep net technique in this how-to video series.
University of Illinois Energy and Environmental Stewardship Educator Duane Friend talks about how to read soil test results and use them to monitor your soil nutrient levels.
High-tech hydroponic urban farming is making a case for itself as a made-in-Canada solution for food stability. It's safe, organic, and scalable, and it could become a new source of food security in isolated communities and major cities.
This video from CBC News looks at how hydroponic farming is being used.
