Precision agriculture, artificial intelligence and machine learning are generating massive amounts of data across farms, agri-businesses and research labs.
A joint Soils at Guelph and Beef@Guelph field day in September 2023 focused on cover crop, crop rotation, water movement and grazing experiments at the Ontario Crops Research Centre and Ontario Beef Research Centre in Elora.
For more details about these Alliance-funded research projects, read the Farmtario article Expanding knowledge about cover cropping effects.
The TVO Water Brothers episode titled “Save our Soils” explores the way soil is foundational to clean water and our food supply.

U of G master's student Courtney Higgins shared her pasture research with BFO's Jaclyn Horenberg at the Ontario Beef Research Centre as part of the organization's Rural Ramble on the Road series.
She is the Canadian lead on a new global research centre that will investigate the challenges and opportunities of "green ammonia" in food production and clean energy.
Conventional ammonia production relies on fossil fuels and releases a lot of greenhouse gas. Green ammonia uses renewable and carbon-free resources instead and has the potential to enhance food production and provide clean fuel while mitigating climate change.
