👩‍🍳 About the Speaker
A long-time Northerner, Janet Dean brings her background in business and education—as well as her experience as a chef and restauranteur—to her work developing the Territorial Agrifood Sector.

🌎 The Agrifood Value Chain relies on collaboration between Northern businesses, governments, NGOs, and communities to strengthen food security. By working together, we can feed ourselves here in the North and help foodpreneurs expand beyond our borders.

💬 Join us for an insightful discussion on food, sustainability, and the future of agriculture in the North!
