Transformation of Canadian Agriculture: The Opportunity in Plant-based Foods, Fuels, and Biomass

Murad Al-Katib, President and CEO, AGT

As the world moves towards a population of 10 billion by 2050, Canada’s abundance of arable land and water will create a generational opportunity for Canadian agriculture. The three crop rotation of cereals, oilseeds, and pulses in Western Canada provides a unique opportunity to meet the growing demand for sustainable protein for humans, renewable fuels, and opportunities to utilize biomass in innovative ways including renewable energy. This presentation will explore this transformation and examine the challenges and opportunities in this growth area.
