Matt Oryschak: Rethinking Ag Sustainability | Ep. 66

In today's episode, I welcomed Matt Oryschak, a PhD student at the University of Alberta. With over two decades of industry experience before returning to academia, he joins us to discuss the intricate balance between livestock production and ecological stewardship. He also examines the environmental narrative in agriculture, the benefits of upcycling, and the positive impacts of farming practices. Matt shares his current research on using fava beans in poultry feeds, an initiative driven by the need for sustainable domestic markets and improved crop rotation strategies in Canadian agriculture.

"The boundaries of a farm now extend globally. Particularly in poultry farming, we often transform low-value by-products into high-value protein. This perspective shifts from viewing a farm in isolation to recognizing it as a value-adding component within the broader agricultural sector."
