Mark your calendar for the 2022 Northern Ontario Ag Conference set to happen on February 17-18, 2022—virtually.

Although details have yet to be announced, the annual conference organized by the Northern Ontario Food Innovation Alliance (NOFIA) has in the past provided a venue for local-area producers and researchers to share agricultural research and best practices for use in the specific clime of Northern Ontario.

Registration is free for the virtual event.

Originally scheduled as an in-person event, NOFIA has shifted gears towards having it continue in 2022 as a virtual expo—which is why details about the event, including the roster of speakers, topics, and registration, will be made available soon.

Founded in 2014, NOFIA is a non-profit agricultural organization that provides a research and innovation infrastructure specific to agriculture in Northern Ontario by creating partnerships with various groups to research, innovate and commercialize agricultural products and technologies for effective use in the area.
