Rethinking Food Insecurity Risk Management in Canada: The Role of Agri-Tech and Accelerators

By Tabitha Caswell for Bioenterprise Canada

The most recent Global Food Security Index (GFSI) report by Economist Impact signals a weakening global food system where Canada stands as a key player, holding the 7^th rank among 113 countries on the list. This pivotal position showcases Canada’s potential to spearhead global initiatives and become a leader in the pursuit of global food security. 

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. With food prices at an all-time high, we cannot dismiss the pressure felt within our borders. Perhaps we must first examine our weaknesses, reinforce our internal agri-food systems, and work to ensure they are resilient enough to serve as a model for international counterparts.
