In this special episode of AgAnnex Talks, we discuss the unique ways in which the agriculture, agri-food and growing sectors would be affected by the planned tariffs.

Hosts Bree Rody (Potatoes in Canada) and Amy Kouniakis (Greenhouse Canada) also bring in economic perspectives that touch on historic precedence of both tariff and non-tariff-related trade disruptions and what the industry learned from those times, innovation opportunities and just why the U.S. became such an important trade partner in the first place.
