A panel discussion exploring the business case for climate solutions was part of the 2023 Arrell Food Summit: Pathways to Change on November 14, 2023.
Speakers included:
- Mauricio Alanis, Director of Sustainability Strategy and Partnerships, Maple Leaf Foods

- Julie Gartside, Global Head of Integration Management Climate Change Strategies Technical Director, SLR Consulting
- Ellery Burton, Principal Managing Partner, Alterra Innovation
- Sally Flis, Director, Sustainability Program Design & Outcome Management, Nutrien Ag Solutions
The discussion explores the “why” behind adopting climate solutions in food and agriculture.
While climate change can be seen only as a risk, many companies are seizing the opportunity to strengthen their resilience to climate impacts, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and adopt new technologies that will create a competitive business advantage and lead to economic growth. Many businesses also recognize that policy changes are already underway, and are moving to align their business practices with investor, stakeholder and consumer values.
Perspectives from farming, industry and policy will inform this panel discussion, which helps companies, industry and decision-makers explore their ‘why’ behind adopting climate solutions in food and agriculture and helps to strengthen the business case for sustainable decisions.
