Farm & Food Care Ontario has a new Vice-President of Development and Member Relations.
Joel Porter will fill the role, bringing with him 26 years of experience in relations management.
He feels Farm & Food Care is a great asset to what is a very diverse industry.
Porter says there are untapped resources in and around the ag sector that he's looking forward to building ties with.
Farm & Food Care Executive Director Tracy Hussey says the new hire's background with non-agriculture groups will help to bring a fresh perspective to the business.
Porter has previously worked with three universities, two hospitals and nationally with Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada.
