In this episode of GTP, Dan decided to change things up a little and bring a different angle on how Canadian agriculture is perceived from an outsider’s perspective… and by an outsider, we’re not talking about someone who’s NOT from Saskatchewan. Jasmine Laverne is a young woman of color from L.A., an entrepreneur, bossbabe, and advocate for social issues.

… BUT what does Dan, a middle-aged white man from Saskatchewan, have in common with Jasmine, a young advocate for diversity, inclusion, and equity in the U.S.?!

More than you think! Listen to the episode, and you will find out.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-      Concepts like diversity, inclusion, and equity in the context of social issues.

-      About the Crown Act initiative and Food Deserts… two foreign concepts for the majority of us.

-      How Canadian agriculture farming is perceived from a consumer’s perspective.

-      The importance of having conversations and being authentic with people who may not have the same background can broaden your perception and help you become a more sympathetic human.
