Thanks @CalgaryChamber for having us speak at the #cultivateagsummit. We had a wonderful time sharing our initiative with this fantastic group of innovators and leaders in the agriculture sector.
Last, but not least, Zai Mamdani, founder of @yycfoodsecurity shares "Our core belief is to empower people struggling with food security to choose fresh produce and develop a diet that aligns with their health needs."
