Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay today announced that the Government of Canada will be expanding its research efforts to better protect and manage Canada's water and soil resources, and strengthen the agriculture sector's ability to adapt to climate change by reopening the Frelighsburg Experimental Farm.
Research at Agriculture and Agri-Food's Frelighsburg Experimental Farm – a satellite site of the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Research and Development Centre will be done in collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including governments, universities, growers and grower associations.
Technologies and methods developed from this research will help producers across the country continue to farm in an environmentally sustainable manner.
