In her role, she toured across Ontario with the Good in Every Grain Grain Discovery Zone to visit numerous fairs and events in every part of the province. (Read more about the Grain Discovery Zone on page 30). With a background in knowledge transfer and events coordination in agriculture, Lindsay enjoyed the opportunity to apply her experience at a grassroots level. Engaging in one-onone conversations opened her eyes to how people absorb and respond to messaging in today’s world of information overload. It has given her the opportunity to explore a wide range of perspectives while explaining the fundamentals of grain farming, which she says has been both challenging and rewarding. As she continues in this role, Sarah's excited to apply what she's learned to help bridge the gap between consumers and producers, highlighting the essential work of Ontario grain farmers.
