Hi, it&#8217;s John here. <\/p>\n<p>Coming soon. My co-host, Teresa Do and I are going to tackle that critical question in a special three part series called, \u201cThe Growing Challenge\u201d. We&#8217;ve assembled an array of experts from all over Canada and up and down the nation\u2019s food supply chain, including farmers, academics, scientists and restaurateurs, as well as leaders at innovative companies like Conserve-X, TELUS Agriculture and DLS Biogas. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll take you from the field, to the plant, to the table as we explore how harnessing new technologies and processes will help achieve our net zero goals as we increase production. <\/p>\n<p>With 345 million people facing food insecurity worldwide, Canada has both a responsibility to help alleviate the global food crisis and an opportunity to expand our presence in global markets. Solving this challenge could be Canada&#8217;s moonshot for the 2020s and a defining moment for our country.<\/p>\n<p>So listen to, \u201cThe Growing Challenge\u201d, coming soon on Disruptors.
