U of G-led research delivers agri-food innovation

Engineering a robot to harvest tomatoes, making microplastic-free green composites and using responsible artificial intelligence are among more than 40 University of Guelph agri-food research projects receiving more than $7 million in new funding from the Government of Ontario.

This funding will support U of G research that delivers solutions for Ontario’s farmers, agribusinesses and rural communities

A total of 44 research projects [1] that drive economic development, protect animal health and welfare and support sustainable, homegrown food will be funded through the Alliance.

The Alliance leverages U of G’s leadership in agriculture and veterinary sciences to deliver practical innovations for farmers, agribusinesses and rural communities. Every year, more than 240 academic experts are directly involved in research projects supported by the Alliance.
