Feeding the Future: Doubling Down on Canadian AgTech Innovation

This AgTech Panel will make the case that Canada needs to double down on investing in technology that supports innovation and the long-term success of our food system. Growers and food processors are facing challenges on several fronts, including climate change and extreme weather events, rising costs within their supply chains, and trade challenges. Canadians want to see a stronger local food system that is sustainable and prepared to face future challenges.
