Canada’s Pork Sector Launches the Pork Research Hub

Jul 20, 2026

Swine Innovation Porc (SIP), Prairie Swine Centre (PSC), the Centre de développement du porc du Québec (CDPQ), and the Canadian Centre for Swine Improvement (CCSI), are proud to launch the Pork Research Hub, a national platform connecting Canada’s pork sector with research, innovation and practical knowledge.

The Pork Research Hub consolidates research articles, technical resources, videos, webinars, podcasts and innovation stories from Canada’s swine research community into a single accessible, bilingual platform. Designed to support producers, researchers, industry leaders and partners across the value chain, the Hub helps improve access to Canadian pork research and makes it easier to find practical information that can support decision-making and knowledge transfer.

The platform is organized around two core areas: the Resource Library, a searchable collection of research articles, factsheets, tools and technical resources, and Research in Action, a curated section highlighting the real-world impacts of Canadian pork research through articles, videos, podcasts, webinars and innovation stories.

The Hub was developed through a collaborative national partnership. It reflects a shared commitment to strengthening coordination and broadening access to research in support of Canada’s pork sector. Its development was supported by contributions from SIP, PSC, CDPQ, CCSI and the Pork Promotion and Research Agency.

Today’s launch marks the starting point for a platform that will continue to grow. New resources, tools and features will be added over time, making the Hub an even more valuable resource for producers, researchers and partners across Canada’s pork sector.

Video: What If Everything You Knew About Feed Inventory Was Wrong?

AI, Agriculture & the Future of Smart Farming with BinSentry CEO Ben Allen. Every day, livestock producers make thousands of dollars' worth of decisions based on one simple question: How much feed is actually left in the bin? For decades, the answer has often been an estimate.

In this episode of AgTech with Andrew, I sit down with Ben Allen, CEO of BinSentry, to explore how artificial intelligence, machine vision and real-time data are transforming one of agriculture's most overlooked challenges—feed and grain inventory management.
We discuss why some of the biggest inefficiencies in livestock production aren't happening in the barn, but throughout the feed supply chain. Ben shares insights from his career leading agricultural technology companies, explains why AI must solve real business problems to earn producer trust, and offers his vision for the connected farm of the future.

In this interview, you'll discover:
Why feed inventory has remained one of agriculture's biggest blind spots
How AI is reducing costly feed outages, waste and unnecessary deliveries
The hidden safety risks of traditional bin inspections
What separates successful ag technologies from those that never gain adoption
How connected farms are changing decision-making for producers, feed mills and integrators
Why real-time inventory may become as important as precision planting and autonomous equipment

Whether you're a livestock producer, grain farmer, feed manufacturer, ag retailer, nutritionist or simply passionate about the future of agriculture, this conversation offers valuable insights into where the industry is headed.
