Building resilient food chains – insights from SIAL Canada 2025

At SIAL Canada 2025 in Toronto, Beth Hunter of FoodBridge joined Tori Waugh from the Ontario Soil Network and regenerative farmer Norm Lamothe of Woodleigh Farms to spotlight a powerful truth: transforming our food systems requires deep collaboration across the value chain.

In this video, the three leaders share how they are embedding sustainability at every level — from soil health to corporate strategy. Whether it’s supporting farmers in scaling regenerative practices, helping companies improve sustainable sourcing, or connecting agronomists, producers, and buyers, their message is clear: the future of agriculture depends on strong partnerships.

Their conversation echoed the core mission of FoodBridge — building collaborations for resilient agriculture. This message was also at the heart of a panel hosted by Beth Hunter on April 30, featuring Caitlin Colegrove, Sustainable Agriculture Lead for North America at PepsiCo, who shared her unique perspective on advancing sustainability within global food systems.
