Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson announced that the Ontario Government is investing over $343 million dollars over 5 years to support agri-food research and innovation.
The investment is being made through a new Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, between the province, the U of G and the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario.
It will be used for research focusing on food safety & animal welfare and support the development of a highly skilled workforce that will lead to more economic growth opportunities in the Agri-Food sector.
