Exploring the Impact of Ontario’s Agricultural Research Stations: Webinar Series
Explore research at Ontario’s Agricultural Research Stations in this four-part webinar series hosted by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance. These webinars will demonstrate how Ontario’s agricultural research stations provide a platform for innovative research and collaboration that benefits Ontario’s agri-food sector.
Crop Rotation Counts: Key Findings from Long-Term Rotation Plot Research
It can take time to understand trends and see results. That’s where long-term research at Ontario’s agricultural research stations comes in. For decades, long-term trials at the Elora Research Station and Ridgetown Campus have generated evidence farmers can be confident in using to make decisions related to crop rotation, tillage systems and nitrogen management.
Ontario onion attacker is in the weeds
A stubborn new fungus is attacking Ontario onions. Luckily, it does not cause food-borne illness, but it could make your onions smaller and more likely to sprout in storage, leading to potential lost revenues for growers and lower-quality onions for consumers.
U of G Researchers Prove Slow-Growing Chickens More Humane in Groundbreaking Study
Raising slower-growing broiler chickens means less efficiency for producers and potentially higher costs for consumers, but it would improve the welfare of millions of birds, according to the largest and most comprehensive study of broiler chicken welfare worldwide by University of Guelph researchers.
Ensuring stability and continuity at Ontario's agricultural research stations during the first 100 days of coronavirus
In July we passed a milestone: 100 days since a state of emergency was declared in Ontario because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many businesses and organizations were forced to pause, re-evaluate, and plan for how they would safely continue operations.
Explore ongoing research at Ontario’s agricultural research stations
Researchers and agri-food industry partners can leverage a unique network of research stations across Ontario. The stations, which are owned by the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario (ARIO) and managed by the University of Guelph, support research that fuels real-world field tests not possible anywhere else.
Gryphon's LAAIR grants help researchers develop products for the growing agri-food sector
From skin care to brewing to plant greenhouses to cows and horses, five projects will receive funding from the Gryphon’s LAAIR program this year to help researchers pursue research innovations with commercial potential.
The Gryphon’s LAAIR (Leading to the Accelerated Adoption of Innovative Research) program, funded by the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, helps to create new products and services for the growing agri-food sector.
