S2 E8 AGRITECH NORTH The final episode of Season 2 of the Frontier Entrepreneurship Podcast brings us to Dryden in Northwestern Ontario where we meet Benjamin Feagin Jr., Co-Founder & CEO of a social enterprise that is tackling the challenge of food security through advancements in hydroponics. Ben introduces us to AgriTech North and challenges our assumptions about organic food systems, sustainability and workforce development, and how indoor agriculture should be tackled in rural and remote communities. In conversation with Frontier co-hosts Braden Kemp ( Fundspoke ) and Tracy Morningstar ( CCIB ), Ben explains why we should decentralize R&D infrastructure, while carefully timing and managing strategic investments in innovation.

They delve into the world of biotech entrepreneurship and explore the importance of protecting the world’s most important pollinator. “Is it dangerous for honeybees right now?” Sun asks. “Yes, it is. It’s not just one disease or pathogen but all of the antibiotics, pesticides and chemicals. Coupled with indirect factors such as climate change, this is putting bees in a position of catastrophic loss.” This is where Nature Recombined comes in, developing plant-based solutions that are showing very promising results.

Brad’s company is a Toronto-based Canadian start-up preparing to deploy an array of robotic micro-factories designed to optimize food catering services for institutions like hospitals and care facilities, each within a defined geographic area and population base. Brad is passionate about the potential of automation, and in this episode shares his ideas on entrepreneurship, sources of inspiration, and explains why the changes he is pursuing in the food services industry will ultimately free up time for his customers to focus on caring for people. “It really turns upside down how we make food in Canada,” Brad explains. “Our model creates a small factory close to the customer so that the cost and environmental impact is very small. It’s miniaturizing the way we manufacture food. And we couldn’t do that without robotics.” Quick Links and References MOM official website .

Did you know that period pads can contain heavy metals and carcinogens, and that they sit in landfills for hundreds of years? Meanwhile, in favour of plastic, gigatons of agricultural residuals are wasted. Useful natural fibres are being left behind in fields, season after season. But our first guest, Rashmi Prakash (CEO of Aruna Revolution ) is working with farmers to reclaim this biomaterial, using it to create natural menstrual products that will help make the circular economy a reality.

Episode #11 CleanInnoGen If green hydrogen will be the fuel of the future, many technological breakthroughs will be needed. Deeptech ventures are charting a course through the outer reaches of thermo-chemical engineering to a new era of net zero energy abundance. Today, Co-Hosts Braden Kemp and Tracy Morningstar take you to the industrial frontier with Victoria Xu, impact entrepreneur, angel investor and Founder of CleanInnoGen . As noted by Foresight Canada (CleanInnoGen was a Foresight 50 2023 Honouree): "CleanInnoGen helps to decarbonize heavy industries like steel and cement by using their waste heat to drive a chemical process, the copper-chlorine cycle, that produces green hydrogen and oxygen on site. The hydrogen and oxygen can be used in the industry’s process for fuel switching to a non-carbon source and for improved combustion efficiency, thus helping to decarbonize their operation. The process uses significantly less electricity than water electrolysis." Themes we encounter in this conversation with Victoria: The promise of green hydrogen Balancing entrepreneurship and angel/impact investing The intersection of green hydrogen and electric vehicles/electrification Hydrogen storage and transportation requirements and costs Closed loop systems (utilizing waste heat from heavy industry for decarbonization) Circular business models, time to market, demonstration markets Why the notorious “valley of death” is even more challenging for deeptech startups Capital-intensive physical technologies.

Episode #10 Coastal Carbon Thomas Storwick from Coastal Carbon uses satellite data and AI technology to speak for the trees... or in this case, the kelp! His platform is enabling blue carbon credits, data-driven marine ecosystem restoration, protection of biodiversity, sustainable aquaculture and economic development–even in remote locations around the world, where Indigenous communities are so often at the global forefront of climate action. As Thomas remarks, "None of this remote monitoring would be possible without AI. We're doing measurements that were impossible before and at a scale that wasn't feasible." Today, we take you to the intersection of seaweed and AI, in this tenth episode of Season 1 of the Frontier Entrepreneurship Podcast, with Co-Hosts Braden Kemp ( Bioenterprise Canada ) and Tracy Morningstar ( CCAB ). Themes we encounter in this conversation with Thomas: The state of seaweed in the coastal environment Aquaculture farming and marine ecosystem regeneration Remote data capture with AI Blue carbon credits and co-benefits (community economic development, supporting remote communities, understanding and influencing the growth of biodiversity) Indigenous economic development implications Coastal Carbon’s market focus and business model Seaweed markets generally, biotech applications and outlook Seaweed farming insights and analytics (beyond blue carbon credits).
