At Telfer, we are committed to creating a competition - and stimulating a conversation - about diversity and inclusion. This year, we are elevating the conversation to the next level - challenging all of us to reimagine how business might address wicked, global problems - for a more inclusive and equitable future. Together, through the challenge, we will create an experience where we connect deeply with one another as leaders and human beings; learn new ways of doing business, where inclusivity is at the core; and network, collaborate, and share our best insights for driving real impact and change. 

Case Challenge Theme: How can Canadian agriculture overcome the acute challenge of labor shortage by becoming a more inclusive industry? Consider how to include the perspectives and needs of indigenous community and reconciliation, environmental sustainability, digital/technological innovation and scaling and exporting opportunities in your solution.
