Agriculture Month Sponsors
FFC SK’s annual conference brings people together from across the agriculture and food system, from crops and livestock to horticulture and poultry production, as well as large and small-scale farms, agribusinesses, dietitians, food companies, researchers and government. This year’s theme is The Future of Food.

In addition to presentations of the Annual Champion Award and Farm & Food Care's Year in Review, we have three excellent keynote speakers who will be joining us: 
Ian Affleck from CropLife Canada: The Un-Scary Truth About GMOs and Gene Editing 
From the early agriculture through to modern genetic engineering, we have been working with nature to create better food. How can we talk with consumers about these technologies?
Alison Van Eenennaam from UC Davis: Genome Editing Opportunities in Livestock 
The CRISPR gene-editing technique earned a Nobel Prize. This tool offers an opportunity for geneticists to precisely introduce useful genetic alterations into animal breeding programs. Will breeders be able to use this technology?
Matt Ridley from Northumberland, UK: What Innovation Needs to Thrive 
Innovation is the main event of the modern age. Yet it remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businesses. How can we change our thinking to position ourselves for the future?
