🌻🥔 On #NationalFarmersDay ➡️ we’re saying thanks to all the hardworking individuals that farm #potatoes and other #vegetables for delicious McCain products. Like Brandon Berce, a fourth-generation farmer who understands the labour of love that is #agriculture. “If you want to understand the challenges of a farmer—grow a garden” he jokes. 🚜 Farm and life lessons alike were passed down to Brandon and his siblings from a long line of hardworking family members. His grandfather purchased the farm from his great-grandfather after returning home from World War Two. “My dad always used to say to us, ‘if it’s worth doing, then it’s worth doing right.’ It stuck with me.” 💛 Today, Brandon is working as a Seed Operations Lead for #McCainFoods after he made the difficult decision to stop farming and send out his final crop in the spring of 2023. But memories of childhood pond swims, sunrises and the close-knit community (his high school principal used to help with harvest) will live on in his heart. “Thank you to all the farmers for your work during early mornings and late nights,” says Brandon; “the time spent away from your families so that you can feed the world—we appreciate it.” #FarmerAppreciation #WeAreMcCain

🤝 In partnership with financial institutions globally, we have developed innovative financing programs to support farmers in their transition to #RegenerativeAgriculture. 💛 We’re proud to share that to date, we have eight partnerships with top tier banks in eight countries. Financial partnerships are one of the ways we’re supporting our farming partners. We also operate the #McCainFarmsOfTheFuture and regional Innovation Hubs to drive and scale regenerative practices across geographies. 🥔 These programs mark a significant step towards our ambitious goal of implementing regenerative agriculture practices on 100% of our potato acreage by 2030, reflecting our mission to reimagine how we grow a potato. ➡️ Learn more about our financial partnerships: https://lnkd.in/dKJG9yU #WeAreMcCain

🧠 Today we recognized #WorldMentalHealthDay with an inspiring virtual chat held by McCain’s own Laura Lyne, founder of our Minds Matter Employee Resource Group, and behavioural change expert Dr. Lisa Belanger, PhD, EMBA, CSEP-CEP. 💛 Dr. Bélanger explored how we can support and bring out the best in our colleagues and teams. ➡️ “It is our responsibility as human beings to take care of each other. Feeling supported at work when challenging times arise can make the world of a difference. As people leaders—keep a pulse on your team. Talk to them, check in, get feedback and remember that empathy is a top leadership skill. And don’t forget to add levity! Have laughs with your colleagues—it has a fundamental impact on our brains.” ✨ Our people are at the heart of our business. As a family of over 22,000 employees globally, we’re dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, ethical and supportive workplace where people can thrive. Thank you, Laura and Dr. Belanger, for this wonderful event! #WeAreMcCain #WorldMentalHealthDay2024

Meet Zora. 👋🐶 She’s a seven-year-old #LabradorRetriever with a special talent—she can detect plant diseases such as potato virus Y (PVY) using her incredibly sensitive nose. 🌱🥔 Her human, Andrea, trained her to detect #PVY odor through #PositiveReinforcementTraining, similar to how police dogs are trained. Zora can identify PVY in seed farmer’s fields, in early days of the growing season to ensure health of this key crop. She often returns to farms after #harvest to sniff seed tubers in storage. “We’re just another tool for #farmers to ensure a healthy crop and give peace of mind,” says Andrea. 🐾💛 #McCainFarmingFriday #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #WeAreMcCain
