Agriculture in the 21st Century: How Canada Can Lead by Example

Canada is poised to be a leader in the agriculture and agri-food sector, a trend identified in myriad reports and roundtables over the last few years. Coming on the heels of the federal government’s announcement in November 2020 of further investments in the Universal Broadband Fund, this panel will discuss tools that leaders in the sector can use to innovate and enhance their productivity. Whether it is through precision farming techniques or sustainable practices, these tools can help position Canada as a leader and fulfill its ambitious yet attainable economic objectives.

Policy Lead: Jarred Cohen, Policy Advisor

Panellists:

• Cassandra Cotton, Vice President, Policy and Programs, Fertilizer Canada  
• Chris Terris, Vice President of Global Strategy, and President of Canada, TELUS Agriculture Solution
