New funding for greenhouse crop research, harvesting, storage and more

The Ontario and federal governments are providing a $330,000 investment in the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre (VRIC), which focuses on horticultural science and innovation and is located in the Niagara region.

“Supporting new technology solutions like those developed at Vineland will help keep Ontario’s agriculture and agri-food sector on the cutting edge,” said the Honourable Marie- Claude Bibeau, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Our farmers and food businesses are leading our country on the road to recovery, and our Government will continue investing in the support they need to grow and succeed.”
