Federal investment announced at EMILI Field Day will help more digital agriculture companies test, grow and bring new technologies to market
As producers face rising costs, unpredictable weather and a competitive global market, practical technology can help farms become more productive, sustainable and resilient, while supporting Canada’s long-term food security.
Today at Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative’s (EMILI) Field Day in Grosse Isle, as EMILI celebrates its 10th anniversary, Dr. Doug Eyolfson, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg West, on behalf of the Honourable Eleanor Olszewski, Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada, announced $3.5 million in federal support for EMILI. The investment will help EMILI support more digital agriculture companies as they test, grow and bring new technologies to market.
“New technologies have tremendous potential, but lasting success depends on ensuring they solve real challenges on the farm,” she said. “This investment enhances our ability to evaluate and de-risk emerging innovations, giving farmers greater confidence to adopt technologies that have been tested, validated, and proven to deliver value. By serving as a trusted bridge between innovation and on-farm application, we can help accelerate adoption, foster meaningful collaboration, and ensure Canadian producers benefit from practical solutions that drive productivity, sustainability, and long-term growth.”
