A University of Guelph Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) PhD candidate is helping farmers protect one of Canada's most important crops using artificial intelligence.

A century-long commitment to protecting honey bees has reached an exciting milestone, as the Luckevich Pinchin Honey Bee Research Centre (HBRC) opens its doors to continue the University of Guelph’s reputation as a leading centre for honey bee research and education.

Congratulations to Dr. Paul Spagnuolo, professor in OAC's Department of Food Science, on receiving the prestigious 2026 Willmar Schwabe Award by the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Resesarch. 

Canada’s food system is one of our country’s strengths, but success depends on the capacity to develop talent, advance innovation and convene partners. By Dr. John Cranfield, dean, Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph. 

U of G Prof Discovers Plant-Based Solution to Target Leukemia Weakness

In the fight against cancer, promising new discoveries don’t always come from where you might expect. New University of Guelph research published in the renowned hematology publication Blood has uncovered a surprising weakness in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that a compound in a common skincare ingredient may be able to target. 

OAC’s Department of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (FARE) was recognized with prestigious honours at the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society (CAES) Annual Meeting, held June 3–5 in Ottawa. 

Agriculture wasn’t always on Davina Suh’s radar.

Growing up in Richmond Hill, she didn’t come from a farming background and had little connection to agriculture. But spending time helping out in her grandma’s vegetable garden sparked an interest in plants that eventually led her to the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) at the University of Guelph.

The Ontario Agricultural College is proud to congratulate Dr. Saeed Ghazani, Research Associate in the Department of Food Science at the University of Guelph, on being appointed a Fellow of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS), one of the highest honours in the fats and oils research community.
