POPULARITY
What if Canada could become a global food superpower—from farm to fork, from field to plate? In this live-recorded episode taped at Farm Credit Canada's Future of Food Conference, I sat down with two titens transforming Canada's agricultural landscape: Curt Vossen, the visionary CEO of Richardson International, and Kristjan Hebert, a farmer who manages his tens of thousands of acress of land with intelligence, passion, and pursuit. Together, they tackle the future of food—from battling inefficiencies in our supply chains to seizing untapped global markets. They speak with brutal honesty about what's holding Canada back: our mindset, our infrastructure, and our humility. Their solution? A call to action that blends bold vision with incremental, achievable steps. In the final segment, Lisa Ashton of RBC Thought Leadership shares powerful insights into Canada's strengths, risks, and unrealized potential in agriculture, backed by data, policy, and her personal story, which began on a farm. My take: Canada does not need to be reliant on one trading partner, we have what it takes to create an economy powered by purposeful jobs and those who both dream and do. Let's all work together to make Canada a Food Superpower. To find out more about Farm Credit Canada: https://www.fcc-fac.ca

Chapter 1
There's a potentially big hit to the pocketbooks of western Canadian farmers, just weeks away from spring seeding. Canola seed exporters have told the Canola Council of Canada that Chinese importers are currently unwilling to purchase their product. The reports come weeks after China's foreign ministry blocked imports from one of Canada's largest grain producers, Richardson International, citing fears of insect infestation. At the time, some suggested the move was retaliation for Canada's arrest of a top Chinese tech executive. Speaking with reporters in Ontario about an hour ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau struck a note of optimism saying he believes he can "work out" issues with China over canola imports. Guest: Brian Innes Vice President of Public Affairs at the Canola Council of Canada

Alex is joined by Matthew Fisher, a former longtime foreign and war correspondent, Visiting Scholar in Defence and International Affairs at the University of Toronto's Massey College, to discuss the cancellation of Richardson International's registration, meaning it can no longer ship seeds to China.
