Flokk Systems founder, Mark Olson, has been featured in Kyle Briggs CanInnovate blog.
In “A Conversation with A Canadian AgTech Innovator”, Kyle and Mark have a wide ranging discussion about the key role AgTech innovation played in Canada securing nationhood, the critical current need for Canadian AgTech innovation, and the challenges, and some solutions for, delivering AgTech innovation in Canada
From Kyle’s concluding “Key Takeaways”:
All of this comes to a head in the face of American threats (a sentence I honestly did not expect to ever have to write down, but here we are). As Mark points out, food security is key to gaining leverage over the United States, as we have vast untapped capacity for production while that of the United States will decline. RBC’s recent report, referenced by Mark above, tells the story clearly, and puts AgTech innovation at the top of the list in terms of what needs to be done to realize this potential.
Last month Flokk shared a shovel ready AgTech innovation opportunity that expands, and assures, Canadian export market access in Time to pull this calf ourselves: Canada’s beef industry must find our own path to livestock traceability.
Flokk Systems is keen to engage, and work, with Canadian individuals and organizations ready to pursue this, and other, opportunities in Canadian AgTech innovation.
