Last year we had three great speakers that gave us lots to think about on our drives home about glyphosate, weed inspections and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations. This year, the speakers will be focusing more on marketing.

Brenda Tjaden has a long history helping western Canadian farms respond to emerging profit opportunities in growing and marketing  their crops. In the process of founding Sustainable Grain, Brenda spent the past 3 years researching sustainability protocols and the organic value chain, their opportunities and vulnerabilities. She also pursued an education in soil health and regenerative  agriculture and continues to build out her network in this field. 

Dennis Kontos is from New Century Produce, a dynamic Canadian organic company trading domestically and internationally in a multifaceted industry.

There will also be an open forum at the end of the day for discussions.
