Description
In a dynamic global market, Canada’s agri-food sector generates more than $100 billion per year and employs one in nine Canadians. Here in our region, we have a diverse, thriving agri-food industry with some of the best farmland, food processing and developing technology capabilities in the world. The sector is constantly evolving, bringing new perspectives, solutions and jobs.
Business opportunities in this sector are growing and it’s important to be aware of the changes that are impacting this vital industry, including food waste, soil health & sustainability, equipment technology and careers in agriculture. Come hear from our local experts and innovators on how they have continued to adapt as the Changing Faces of Agriculture.
