Nidòndàdizimin nidjìbikànàng: Thriving from Our Roots

The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and Kitigan Zibi Anishinàbeg present a collaborative language installation, Nidòndàdizimin nidjìbikànàng: Thriving from Our Roots. This trilingual display—in Algonquin, French, and English—features the words and voices of two Kitigan Zibi Anishinàbeg members, Asha Meness King and Joan Tenasco. This project celebrates the Anishinàbe Algonquin language, and the presence and resilience of the Anishinàbe Algonquin peoples on their traditional territories.

Safe Delivery, from A to Bee

To treat outbreaks of mould or other fungi that might damage crops, farmers usually rely on fungicides. But what if they could prevent these outbreaks in the first place?

An Ontario company—Bee Vectoring Technology (BVT)—has developed a delivery and protection system that relies on bumblebees and a “good” fungus to protect crops from fungal diseases.

A First Home

Calves are born with a weak immune system and can get very sick for the first two months of their lives. To keep the calves healthy, dairy farmers usually house them away from older animals and the germs they carry. 

Many dairy farmers house their calves outdoors, in individual hutches. The hutch has everything a calf needs to be healthy and comfortable.

A Self-Serve Waterer

Just like us, farm animals need clean drinking water. Getting water to animals in far-off pastures or during the winter months can be challenging, as it takes energy to pump water and to keep it from freezing in cold weather.

Developed by a farmer in Alberta, the Frostfree Nosepump is a waterer that allows farm animals to pump the water they need, in both summer and winter.
