For most of us, food is simply the end product, a piece of meat or bag of lettuce picked up at a grocery store to eat for dinner. The people behind that food – from the farmers and producers to delivery drivers and retailers – go largely unnoticed. That is, until something breaks along the supply chain.
Dr. Helen Hambly, Professor at the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development at the University of Guelph, believes the need for more efficient agricultural processes has never been greater – and why 5G may be the answer.
All Canadians deserve resilient and reliable high-speed internet access to connect them to what matters most.
In Episode #4 of the Leveling Up Podcast, Dr. Hambly delves into the current plight of Canadian food producers and distributors, and the desperate need for digital transformation in one of Canada’s most important industries.
