Kate Helmore is a Vancouver-based journalist who loves reporting on agriculture. No, she didn’t grow up on a farm. She just likes any opportunity to get beyond city limits. In 2023, she worked as an ROB reporter and covered issues such as microplastics in farming, Quebec’s pork crisis and Canada’s global dominance in pulses (the protein of the future, she assures us). She has also reported for CBC, The Tyee, Canadian Geographic and Capital Daily. She graduated from UBC’s master of journalism program in 2022.
When not wearing the reporter cap, Kate can be found on the dance floor, in the mountains on a bike, or wolfing down lasagna.
