Read EMILI Managing Director Jacqueline Keena's opinion piece on the importance of investing in agtech innovation, published in today's Winnipeg Free Press. "We’ve entered a disorienting new era — one where global trade and market access are being decided by the politics of disruption and intimidation more so than fundamentals of supply and demand. The result is rising uncertainty. To offset this, policymakers, private sector leaders and investors across our country must collaborate to spur innovation within key industries to shore up strategic sectors of our economy and attract new trading partners. In doing so, we cannot afford to overlook the importance of agriculture. Indeed, it’s one of the few sectors where concerted action could lead to big productivity gains in relatively short order." ➡️ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gb93NgdC

Smarter Agrimarketing: Do Better, Not More The agriculture industry is changing, and so are the ways we connect with those  in it. At CAMA’s Evolution of Ag: Doing Better, Not More workshop, we’re taking a hard look at  what’s working - and what’s not - in agrimarketing today. Led by two of Canada’s top agrimarketers, David Lazarenko and Dave Hardy, this session isn’t about adding more to your plate, it’s about making what you do more effective in five key areas:  • Brand trust – Build credibility in a skeptical market  • Farmer-centric marketing – Shift from what we sell to how they buy • Measurable impact – Track success beyond clicks and impressions • The right story, the right time – Cut through the noise with messaging that matters • Smarter strategies – Making marketing work harder (so you don’t have to) This is your chance to rethink agrimarketing and walk away with real, actionable strategies to make a difference in your brand, your campaigns, and your results.
