EMILI advances digital agriculture on Innovation Farms (CAAR Communicator)

Rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is transforming the way we grow, process, harvest, and deliver food, allowing us to do more, and in a more productive and sustainable way.

A great example of this can be found on Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert, 30 minutes northwest of Winnipeg, Manitoba. EMILI, an industry-led non-profit, works with producers, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs to develop viable solutions to the diverse agronomic and technological constraints and opportunities farmers face.

“We are proud of the work taking place at Innovation Farms,” said EMILI Managing Director Jacqueline Keena. “By providing opportunities on a full scale, commercial seed farm for innovators to test and validate how their solutions work in a real-life setting, and then sharing these insights to inform decision making, we de-risk the technology, giving farmers increased confidence in its capabilities prior to adopting it on their farm.”
