SUMMARY:OBPC Biomass Forum & AGM 2013
DESCRIPTION:Agenda\n\n\n\n1 Stone Road W.\, Guelph Ontario\, January 23\, 2013 \n\n\n\nSpeaker BiosDownload\n\n\n\nRegistration and Networking (6:30 pm- 7:00 pm) \n\n\n\n“The Cents in Ontario Biomass – Budding Opportunities in an Emerging Biomass Market”: Presentation by Nick Betts\, OSCIA (40 minutes\, including Q&A) \n\n\n\nBiomass in OntarioThe agricultural biomass industry has been developing in Ontario for over a decade\, with various ventures and opportunities coming and moving by. 2013 presents a state where the industry is maturing and requires the input and cooperation of individuals and corporations across the spectrum of agriculture\, aggregation\, manufacturing and retail to succeed. What these options are\, where they exist\, and what the state of these markets at a global level can be deceiving and hard to evaluate. This presentation will discuss some of the challenges and successes in this developing market.OBPC Growers’ GuideIntroduction of the document\, talk about sources\, desire to make a “one-stop” document for farmers.Membership DevelopmentComing together as a united\, farmer-driven front (Cooperative) and approach industry\, clearly stating your current abilities\, ramp-up abilities and potential with more members.\n\n\n\nIntroduction of Biomass Posters by UofG Students (5 minutes) \n\n\n\nBreak for Networking and Poster Presentations (15 minutes) \n\n\n\n“The Challenge of Connecting the Biomass Sectors” (75 minutes) \n\n\n\nA Panel Discussion – co-moderated by Ian McDonald\, OMAFRA and Jim Todd\, OMAFRA\n\n\n\nPanel members: \n\n\n\nMurray McLaughlin – Executive Director at Bioindustrial Innovation CenterCharles Lalonde – Ontario Federation of Agriculture & CJ Agren ConsultingBarry S.

Martin – Prof. at UofG\, Loblaw Chair in Sustainable Food Production\n\n\n\nThe panel will address Market Opportunities\, Business Models\, Developing Relationships in the Value Chain and Environmental Opportunities along the value chain. \n\n\n\nThe audience has an opportunity to cover these hot topics in an interactive format with a panel of biomass industry insiders. \n\n\n\nWithin this forum we will attempt to shed more light and look for answers to questions like: \n\n\n\nHow can we engage biomass producers with end customers and players in the value chain?What are the attributes that manufacturers require in a feedstock?How can we leverage existing environmental opportunities\, practically and market wise?How can we raise more effectively the awareness and knowledge of our biomass crops within the larger agricultural and industrial community?How can we improve the profile of our crops to become a highly desirable feedstock for bio-based products?How can we learn from existing and successful Ag value chains?Which biomass applications have the best earliest and best opportunity of opening profitable markets for producers and industry?How can we convince the vast majority of farmers\, who are passively sitting on the sideline\, to join early adopters and become active participants in a new biomass industry?\n\n\n\nAnnual General meeting (45 minutes)\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nWelcomeRecognition of the 2012 Board of DirectorsPresident’s RemarksFormal Meeting\n\n\n\nFormal Meeting\n\n\n\nApproval of the AgendaApproval of the Minutes of February 8\, 2012Financial Reports/Financial Review – David LyonsAppointment of Reviewer for 2013Elections of New Directors (4 positions for 3 year terms\, 2 positions for 2 year term  and one position for a one year term\, as well as one associate member as an adviser)New Business
