More than 40 agri-food research projects at the University of Guelph have received over $7 million in new funding from the Government of Ontario. Supported through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, these 44 projects include innovations such as tomato-harvesting robots, microplastic-free composites, and responsible AI. The funding will help drive economic development, enhance animal health and welfare, and support sustainable food systems that benefit Ontario’s farmers, agribusinesses and rural communities.
