The Northern Ontario Farm Innovation Alliance (NOFIA) has set the date for its next annual Northern Ontario Agriculture Conference, this time in-person, for February 15-16, 2023.

Headquartered in Temiskaming, NOFIA is a non-profit organization seeking to provide research and innovation infrastructure for agriculture in the Northern Ontario area. It helps create partnerships between groups to provide research, develop innovation, and to commercialize agricultural products and technologies for effective use in Northern Ontario.

The conference, it’s fifth such event, brings together agricultural professionals to learn about new research and share best practices in the field, and is a great way for individuals and companies to develop ties leading to the goals of NOFIA.  

The conference was last held virtually in February of 2021, with an in-person event held in 2020 in Sudbury.  

Details regarding the Norther Ontario Agriculture Conference location, guests, and conference activities are forthcoming.

Welcome to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show AgTech Breakfast. This annual Ontario outdoor farm show has always been a place where innovation thrives.

The AgTech Breakfast takes place every September to create a space where farmers and representatives from startup companies can meet and discuss innovations that bring new options to the agriculture industry. This is a great opportunity for attendees of this event to see what’s new.

At the AgTech Breakfast, attendees hear from a panel of companies, followed by a casual discussion session where farmers and representatives from startup companies can discuss new technology related to farming and share opportunities and challenges that impact Canadian agriculture.

One company featured at the 2024 AgTech Breakfast at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show was VETSon. This company connects producers and veterinarians for one-on-one consultations through online and app technology to improve options for livestock management.
