From building a sustainable, reliable supply of food for the world’s population to connecting farms across the globe to the digital sphere, the future of agriculture is happening now. Our Smart Agriculture and Food Innovation Team believes innovation can change the face of food and farming around the world, bringing food security into reach. That’s why we’re investing in technologies covering all corners of the agri-food industry that are bringing down costs of production, increasing productivity, and adding value to the products we grow and create.  

We’re funding new ideas and innovations from field to fork. We offer targeted programs to accelerate the adoption of technology and drive research in order to strengthen Alberta’s agriculture industry.
