The term “Alberta beef” is synonymous globally with exceptional cuts of meat and delicious tastes, and yet, only 2% of Canada’s population is involved in the production of said agriculture. So what exactly does it take to run Canada’s beef industry?

On this episode, we speak with Kee Jim, Managing Director of G. K. Jim Farms, and Global Head of Animal Health and Agriculture for TELUS Agriculture.

We talk to Kee about his journey from high school to the C-Suite, what it takes to run the world’s biggest feedlot, the future of Alberta’s beef and feedlot industries, and key innovations coming out of the agri-food industry.
