Dr. Rene Van Acker writes that universities have a unique role in charting the course for a national agri-food innovation strategy, and that collaborating with industry and Government—an approach exemplified by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance—creates an environment conducive to cutting-edge research and development.
The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance has appointed three new research program directors (RPDs), who join two University of Guelph faculty experts already in the role.
These experts connect multidisciplinary U of G agri-food expertise with Alliance research programming to deliver solutions for Ontario’s farmers and drive economic growth within the agri-food sector.
Schneider presented Alliance research about grazing cover crops in Ontario during the Atlantic Forage Field Day on August 7, 2024. As a researcher in the Department of Plant Agriculture, her main research focus is to improve both economic and environmental outcomes for Ontario forage producers.
