"The acquisition comes at a pivotal moment for Canada's food ecosystem. With shifting global trade policies and new U.S. tariffs disrupting Canadian food imports and demand, investing in local production has never been more important,” said Jon Lomow, chief executive officer, Fieldless Farms, in a press release. “Together, Elevate and Fieldless are securing a stronger, more resilient domestic food supply while creating a more robust offering for Canadian innovation to enter international markets."
