Canada’s food system is one of our country’s strengths, but success depends on the capacity to develop talent, advance innovation and convene partners.
Canada’s food system has long been one of our country’s strengths. Despite growing pressures from extreme weather events and labour shortages to supply-chain disruptions and global competition, our agricultural sector continues to provide safe, reliable food for Canadians.
That success does not happen by accident. It depends on the capacity to develop talent, advance innovation and bring together partners across the agri-food value chain.
A strong food system is built through long-term investments in people, research, infrastructure and collaboration. It depends on scientists developing more resilient crop and livestock management systems, food scientists enhancing food quality and safety, businesses bringing innovations to market, and the next generation of leaders prepared to navigate an increasingly complex system.
This is where the University of Guelph and the Ontario Agricultural College play a critical role.
