Already a pillar of the Canadian economy, the agriculture industry is innovating and evolving at a rapid rate, presenting new opportunities for a wide cross-section of investors, businesses and industry stakeholders. Research and technology in agriculture is driving advances in a multitude of sectors including alternative energy and health food. Meanwhile, global food and fuel shortages, climate change, volatile market conditions and rising populations mean the stakes are higher than ever for agri-business and the bio-economy. Jay Bradshaw, President of Syngenta Canada, will shed light on the current state of Canadian agriculture, its role on the global stage, its economic significance, and what you need to know to make the most of the opportunities presented by this often misunderstood but essential industry.
