Our Key Focus Areas: 

1

Mitigation

Improved water management comes from technology adoption and improved soil health.  

2

Adaptation

Reduced inputs and GHG emissions come from technology adoption, regenerative practices, and shorter supply chains.

3

Food Security

Technology, traceability and circular solutions can reduce food loss and waste.

4

Regenerative Agriculture

Nutrient density and improved yields depend on improved soil health stemming from regenerative agriculture.

The Agriculture Challenge

The Canadian agriculture industry has no shortage of challenges: population growth, changing consumer preferences, increasing costs, declining available arable land, and growing climatic uncertainty. Just to name a few. In the face of these challenges, innovation is imperative.
