Should agriculture transform into a high-tech industry AND the rollercoaster ride of the commodity markets

The agribusiness industry in Canada faced many challenges. Labour shortages, competition from foreign players, rising land costs, shifting weather patterns, and of course, the pandemic. A report from KPMG says the future agriculture depends on its willingness to embrace technology and ultimately build a more sustainable, resilient system. David Guthrie, national agribusiness sector leader for KPMG, will share a report on why agriculture should be transformed into a high-tech industry. The rollercoaster ride of the commodity markets continues. Senior crops analyst Wayne Palmer says after record highs, prices dropped off again. He will talk about the factors contributing to this 'price chaos' and gives some advice for farmers still trying to make decisions about whether or not to lock in prices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
