Innovation fuels economic development, job creation, and trade across the agri-food sector. A world-class network of research centres enabling multidisciplinary research powers this innovation in Ontario.
The real-world field tests conducted at these research centres promote agri-food discoveries, validate laboratory findings, stimulate further research and provide valuable information for Ontario’s agri-food sector.
These research centres, owned by the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario, are operated and managed by the University of Guelph through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance.
