  beyond the use of new technologies and requires an overhaul of organizati
 onal structures\, governance\, work processes\, culture and mindset. Becau
 se of the huge effort it takes and the lack or shortage of resources requi
 red to bring the change\, many organizations slow down their digitalizatio
 n process. An impact of that is what we saw during the Covid-19 pandemic w
 ith many public health agencies struggling to access and utilize quality d
 ata essential for decision making. There aren’t many success stories in di
 gital transformation in the food safety domain. But\, Dubai has a story to
  tell you. Let us look at how the city uses digital technologies to manage
  food safety and to capture wider benefits of digital transformation to ad
 dress public health challenges.\n\nChair: Professor Laurette Dubé (Scienti
 fic Director of MCCHE)\n	Co-Chair & Moderator: John G. Keogh (Professor of 
 Practice\, MCCHE\; Founder\, Shantalla Inc.)\n\nPanel Discussion: A panel 
 of scientists and action leaders will build upon this in-depth economy-lev
 el analysis of Canada Net Zero strategy to explore challenges and possibil
 ities for the agri-food sector in Canada and around the world\, linking to
  the UN SDGs. They will discuss strategies to cascade down and up national
  policies into sector- and enterprise-level investments\, innovation pipel
 ines\, operations and logistics\, laying out key foundation for the integr
 ative digital and institutional architecture needed to reach societal scal
 e (e.g.\, standards\, metrics\, monitoring\, adaptive learning). They will
  also discuss show effort deployed for Net Zero could be linked to other a
 spects of development\, e.g\, Zero Hunger\, Affordable Health for All\, or
  Inclusive-ness\, as suggested in current calls for a world reset on conve
 rgence economy\, acknowledging that developed and developing worlds share 
 the same planet and harnessing the full power of entrepreneurship and inno
 vation around the globe.\n\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovatio
 n Webinar Series features cutting edge science\, technology and innovation
  in agriculture\, food\, environment\, education\, medicine and other doma
