  • Future-Proof Our Agriculture and Food System

The year is 2035. Droughts and extreme heat ravage major agricultural regions globally. Staple food crops fail. Supply chains falter, resulting in empty grocery store shelves and never-before-seen food price volatility. Food insecurity has hit an all-time high in Canada, more than 50% of Canadians are food insecure.  

You’ve been selected to serve on the national agriculture and food security task force. Now what? 

Join us for an immersive, hands-on session where you’ll step into the shoes of a national agriculture and food security task force member navigating this food security crisis. Together, we’ll explore how to lead through uncertainty, proactively prepare for complex disruptions before they arise and learn what it takes to foster a more resilient, inclusive, and innovative agriculture and food future for all. 

All are welcome. This session may be especially insightful if you’re interested in agriculture and food systems resilience and navigating volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous futures. 

Workshops are open to all attendees—typically engaging 20 to 60 participants—in interactive formats that foster collaborative problem-solving around key challenges and opportunities. Designed to apply learnings and collect insights in real time, participants are equipped to contribute meaningfully to foster long-term outcomes and impact that extends well beyond the event.
