This is such a critical issue!
It is hard to believe that we do not have an extension system in Canada. I and other farmers are supported well by our farm associations but really need assistance on the extension issue. Universities definitely have a role to play and I hope we can work together to push for the funding necessary to get nation-wide extension off the ground.
For my part, I want to help create a national cyber extension system to help farmers secure our national food system from cyber threats.
