The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance is collaborating with Agri-food Data Canada (ADC) to develop a suite of data access portals that will enhance data capture, storage, integration, access and security at Ontario’s agri-food research centres.

Agriculture and veterinary science are among the areas included in the category.

The University's score was strengthened largely by its excellence in research quality, which assesses a university’s role in spreading new knowledge and ideas. 

U of G also scored well in the industry area of the rankings, which assesses the ability of institutions to provide industry with innovations, inventions and consultancy. 

The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance has opened its call for project proposals focused on mobilizing knowledge and engaging partners in agri-food research.

Large animal veterinarians rely on the University of Guelph Animal Health Laboratory (AHL) for reliable test results that help identify the cause of disease signs in Ontario’s livestock.

Twice this year, AHL diagnosticians tested samples that were negative for the common culprits, prompting further investigation that relied on their disease expertise, experience and detective skills.
