David Hillson, ‘The Risk Doctor’ from Hampshire, UK, discusses how the traditional view of risk is negative, representing loss, hazard, harm and adverse consequences. The tools and techniques available often focus on the negative side of the risk process and concentrate on managing threats, while approaches to opportunity management remain patchy and reactive. David’s presentation addresses each phase of the risk process to extend the scope and identify opportunities for your farm business.

Presented by the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture & the Lower Mainland Horticulture Improvement Association, with funding from Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
