FW: Weekend waterer- Buller Greenhouse

by Emily Wolverton

________________________________ From: Jo-Anne Joyce <Jo-Anne.Joyce(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Jo-Anne.Joyce@umanitoba.ca>> Sent: July 26, 2022 4:43 PM To: Cathy Bay <Cathy.Bay(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Cathy.Bay@umanitoba.ca>> Subject: RE: Weekend waterer- Buller Greenhouse Hi, Cathy. Here's a more cohesive summary of the position(s): Position: This is an unposted student position. Hours: 4 hours every Sat. or Sun. (or both days every other weekend, alternating with another waterer), Wages: My best guess is a starting wage of $16.89+ (this is for a Tech. 1, Step 1). The exact classification and wage will be determined by the Faculty of Science HR people and will depend on your experience and previous employment/seniority at the UofM or AESES union. Tasks: watering and pest control (using water, insecticidal soap, insect predators) at Buller GH and two daily inspections at CTC (Crop Technology Centre) which is our research greenhouse. The inspection is done via an app or a physical checksheet, and you would receive training in the skills you need. Experience with a variety of plants and pests is an asset! Requirements: * Experience with growing/maintaining plants is required. * Summer availability is important. We can accommodate a couple of weekends off (everyone needs a holiday!), but need whoever we hire to be committed and responsible for weekends, some STATs and occasional holiday coverage during summer (usually a day here and there if you are available during the week). * Knowledge of pests and how to deal with them is an asset. * Experience with greenhouse systems and maintenance of old buildings is an asset, but not required. Please let me know if you're interested. If you think this might be a good fit for you, but want to know more, we could meet in-person or on Zoom. Feel free to pass along my contact info if you know anyone else who might be qualified and available. My full contact info is below. Thanks, Cathy.

Thanks for offering to share with Jacqueline. Jo-Anne Do you have (or know of) a grad student interested in a weekend waterer position at the Buller Greenhouse? 4 hours every Sat. or Sun. (or alternate weekends with another waterer), watering and pest control at Buller GH and two inspections at CTC. Summer availability is important. We can accommodate a couple of weekends off, but need whoever we hire to be committed and responsible for weekends, some STATs and occasional holiday coverage during summer. Experience with growing/maintaining plants is required. Most of the grad students I've talked to are interested but are gone for a month or more each summer doing field work, which is difficult to work around. Our current (and only) weekend technician will be leaving us in December so we'll ultimately hire two people. Appreciate it.

This Quick Think Report compares the 2021 data with 2016 and 2011 data, providing analysis on land use and the adoption of sustainable farming practices. The colourful maps contained in this report allow readers to quickly visualize agricultural trends by census division (small parcels in each province) and to compare provincial and regional land use or sustainable practices. Read the Report<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014siTgVeahexZQmmRC6aECKCiAlPyrdXanypRbe2i--o…> Key Takeaways<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014siTgVeahexZQmmRC6aECKCiAlPyrdXanypRbe2i--o…> · In general, long-term trends continue: total farm area is on the decline across Canada, farms are fewer and larger, and they are adopting sustainable practices. These long-term trends highlight some of the challenges and opportunities facing policymakers. · Despite decreasing total farm area, land in crops is on the rise, while pasture and grassland are decreasing. · Changes in land use have a long-term impact on Canadian agriculture. Pasture and grassland are important to Canada’s livestock industry but also sequester and store carbon and protect biodiversity. · Census data also reinforces agriculture’s long-term commitment to using sustainable farming practices. · While the census does not tell us why farmers are adopting these practices, policymakers should consider the significant progress already achieved when developing policies to encourage sustainable agricultural practices.

Ce rapport Réflexion rapide compare les données de 2021 avec celles de 2016 et 2011, fournissant une analyse sur l'utilisation des terres et l'adoption de pratiques agricoles durables. Les cartes en couleur contenues dans ce rapport permettent aux lecteurs de visualiser rapidement les tendances agricoles par division de recensement (petites parcelles dans chaque province) et de comparer leur utilisation des terres ou leurs pratiques durables. Lire le rapport<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014siTgVeahexZQmmRC6aECKCiAlPyrdXanypRbe2i--o…> Principaux points à retenir<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014siTgVeahexZQmmRC6aECKCiAlPyrdXanypRbe2i--o…> · En général, les tendances à long terme persistent: la superficie totale des fermes est en baisse, les fermes sont moins nombreuses et plus grandes, et elles adoptent des pratiques durables. · Malgré la diminution de la superficie totale des fermes, les terres cultivées sont en hausse, tandis que les pâturages et les prairies sont en baisse. · Les changements en l’utilisation ont un impact à long terme sur l’agriculture canadienne. Les pâturages et les prairies sont importants pour l'industrie de l'élevage du Canada mais séquestrent également du carbone et protègent la biodiversité. · Les données du recensement renforcent également l'engagement à long terme de l'agriculture à utiliser des pratiques agricoles durables. · Bien que le recensement ne nous dise pas pourquoi les agriculteurs adoptent ces pratiques, les décideurs devraient tenir compte des progrès importants déjà réalisés lorsqu'ils élaborent des politiques visant à encourager les pratiques agricoles durables.

Most food processors are “small” and enabling and facilitating their start-up and scale-up is one opportunity to increase agriculture and food’s value, resiliency, and regional impact. Entrepreneurs are the driving force behind increasing that impact, but women and diverse entrepreneurs often face additional barriers to growth. This webinar will present research from the Small Scale Food Processor Association’s Women’s Initiative<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001WhrM6YrHJHt6_uMNaTZ6sBbNCM70Ng7ZLJRTcRLAqzd…>, explore challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneurs and share recommendations for supporting small scale food processing in Canada.

However, pressure on global food systems was already significant, driven by rising demand and production challenges around the world. This global challenge requires local solutions, with food producers being called on to find sustainable ways to meet growing global demand. This webinar will explore current dynamics within the global food system and consider what policy solutions could be implemented in Canada, the United States and around the world. This webinar builds on collaboration between the Farm Foundation and CAPI on Trade and Climate Change (2021), Trade and the Environment (2020), and Trade in an Increasingly Chaotic World (2019).

La plupart des transformateurs alimentaires sont «.petits.» et la facilitation de leur démarrage et de leur mise à l'échelle est une occasion d'accroître la valeur, la résilience et l'impact régional du secteur agroalimentaire. Les entrepreneurs sont la force motrice derrière l'augmentation de cet impact, mais les femmes et les entrepreneurs divers sont souvent confrontés à davantage d’obstacles à la croissance. Ce webinaire présentera la recherche entamée par la Small Scale Food Processor Association: l'Initiative des femmes. On explorera les défis et les opportunités auxquels font face les entrepreneurs et on partagera des recommandations pour soutenir la transformation alimentaire à petite échelle au Canada. L'Institut canadien des politiques agroalimentaires (ICPA) est fier de s'associer à diverses voix du secteur agroalimentaire canadien. À ce titre, les points de vue et les opinions exprimés par les conférenciers dans ces webinaires sont uniquement ceux du conférencier et ne reflètent pas nécessairement ceux de l'ICPA.

Cependant, la pression sur les systèmes alimentaires mondiaux était déjà importante, en raison de l’augmentation de la demande et des problèmes de production à travers le monde. Ce défi mondial exige des solutions locales, les producteurs alimentaires étant appelés à trouver des moyens durables de répondre à la demande mondiale croissante. Ce webinaire explorera les dynamiques actuelles au sein du système alimentaire mondial et examinera les solutions politiques qui pourraient être mises en œuvre au Canada, aux États–Unis et dans le monde entier. Ce webinaire s’appuie sur la collaboration antérieure entre la Farm Foundation et l’ICPA : Le commerce et le changement climatique (2021), Le commerce et l’environnement (2020) et Le commerce dans un monde de plus en plus chaotique (2019).
