Each day of the SECURE-AGRO Fall Institute will approach cybersecurity from a different part of Canada’s agri-food ecosystem.

From automated livestock operations and supply chains to precision agriculture, beef and pork systems, and national cyber resilience, these conversations will help uncover sector-specific risks, shared dependencies, resilience gaps, and priorities for action, connecting perspectives from academia, industry, government, producers, and technology.
