		<description><![CDATA[By Leslie Ballentine, Farming and food commentator Turning chicken feathers into ‘green’ plastic is not a new idea. Government and university scientists in the U.S. first began serious research into the possibility years ago. The goal for researchers and plastic manufacturers has been to develop a substitute for petroleum in some plastic products. This year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Leslie Ballentine, Farm and food commentator Genomics is a touchy subject, whether we are talking human or plant and animal. That is why the biotechnology debate can get so heated. In my opinion, and in the opinion of most in the farm and food sector, biotechnology gets a bad rap in these debates. To [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Leslie Ballentine,  Farm and food commentator When we think of cattle, pigs or poultry we may think of our next meal. But what many don’t know is that farm animals provide more than just sustenance.  They also save lives in other ways too. In May, the media reported on a “medical breakthrough”:  A new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Leslie Ballentine, Farming and food commentator I just finished reading some more animal science studies out of Europe (a sure cure for insomnia) on what “free range” and “free run” laying hens are up against. And it’s a bit of a buyer-beware scenario too. Although it is a small niche market here in North [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Leslie Ballentine, Farming and food commentator I am often asked what, if any, laws govern the treatment of farm animals in Canada.  On that score there’s plenty to report. Since 2005, there have been changes to most provincial animal welfare laws.  You can see for yourself at: http://www.afac.ab.ca/lawsregs/awlcanada.pdf Mainly, these have been penalty increases [...]]]></description>
