Windset Farms® Partners with Koppert to Showcase Sustainable Pest Management Practices; Randi Church Comments

DELTA, CANADA - As interest in how food is grown continues to rise, WINDSET FARMS® has partnered with Koppert Biological Systems to launch an engaging digital campaign that takes consumers behind the scenes of greenhouse production. Together, they are educating viewers on sustainable greenhouse growing practices, with a focus on the beneficial insects utilized in Windset’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

By featuring the expertise of Windset’s IPM Lead, Tammy, alongside Koppert’s Technical Consultant, Jordan, the campaign brought complex biological systems to life in educational and approachable videos shared on social media platforms.

“Our customers want to know more than ever about sustainability and how their food is grown,” said Randi Church, Marketing Manager at Windset Farms, in the recent release. “Our partnership with Koppert shares how science and nature work together to produce delicious, high-quality greenhouse vegetables.”

The series premiered in late August, with the posts achieving top ranks for engagement and view rate for the month, reflecting our communities' eagerness to learn more. Included was an introduction episode, followed by three episodes, each focusing on a beneficial insect used in Windset’s IPM program:
