Agriculture & Agri-Food
Through the development and application of genomics innovation, we are increasing the resilience and sustainability in our food system, improving productivity and enhancing animal health and the safety of food products.
Harvesting Data? Big Data is Bringing Powerful Insights to the Agriculture Sector
Vast amounts of valuable data are generated in and by this sector, including information about weather patterns, soil quality, yields and desirable genetic traits of crops and animals. By collecting and analyzing this data with artificial intelligence, machine learning and bioinformatics, new insights are available to producers to make data-driven decisions, yielding benefits to the environment and the bottom-line.
We are here to assist you in making connections and leveraging opportunities for funding and partnerships. Reach out to our team to get started.
