THE NEXT GREEN REVOLUTION – how Canada feeds the world’s growing population, sustainably

Presented by RBC

Mohamad Yaghi is RBC’s Climate and Agriculture Policy Lead in the RBC Economics & Thought Leadership team. With over a decade of experience in the agriculture and agri-food industry, Mohamad is shaping RBC’s research and engagement in the sector to inform and inspire transition pathways across the economy and to push Canada to become the world’s sustainable breadbasket. Before joining RBC, Mohamad led the successful market development of an international agriculture service provider in Canada and U.S., founded and led an AgTech start-up, Rakr Inc., that closely worked with livestock farmers across North America and Southeast Asia to promote energy efficient farming practices, and worked in the thought leadership groups at KPMG Lighthouse and GE Canada to propel innovation across Canada.

WEDNESDAY

CURTIS WEBER, North Battleford, Saskatchewan 

Presented by Farm Credit Canada

Curtis Weber has been influencing behaviours and inspiring change in safety globally for 15 years.  He comes from Saskatchewan, Canada where the young teen had his life heading exactly where he had always dreamed it would take him, with an opportunity to play Jr Hockey. Instead on his third day of a new job at the age of just 17, Curtis found himself in a battle of life or death as over 40,000 volts of electricity surged through the young teens body. Through this experience, an improbable young man emerged, seemingly unscathed both mentally and physically after all he had been through. Medical experts and therapists marvelled in disbelief at his positive outlook, even in the early days fresh out of his coma.

Curtis has since dedicated his life and career to making real and positive changes, to the way people view safety. Let Curtis take you on his emotional journey that you will never forget, and that Curtis will forever remember.
