Thank you, Mr. MacGregor.
I agree. As Dr. Yada from UBC and Dr. Van Acker from Ontario Agricultural College and I talked about, we do need to build in this resilience with small “boutique” food processing operations so that there is this ability. When you have fractured supply chains—and it didn't happen much, but it is a real potential in terms of the efficiencies driving these long supply chains—you certainly put urban populations at risk of food insecurity.
Certainly, there need to be both the element of people who are prepared to take the risk and also the support for them, both from a investment perspective from government support for their own investments, and also from a supportive environment and a supportive innovation ecosystem. It takes a number of players, colleges and universities, as well as investment opportunities and, of course, provincial and federal governments.
