Agriculture and food
Strengthening food security and growing vital industries
Producing more high-quality, safe food with less environmental impact is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
Driven by more than two decades of investment by Genome Canada, genomics-enabled solutions are building climate change resilience and strengthening Canadian agriculture, agri-food, fisheries and aquaculture industries. These green growth investments are increasing food quality, safety and production—creating higher value products, growing a more diverse global market share and increasing Canadian exports.
Genome Canada is charting a more sustainable and self-sufficient future for Canada’s agricultural and food sectors as we harness genomics to address and reduce the impacts of climate change, increase food security and build supply chain resilience.
