Consistent plant production is critical for plant product quality and marketability. Plant quality (leafy greens, cannabis or other plants) is influenced by the plant species/cultivar and environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity, light level, light quality, CO2 levels, water quality and quantity, nutrient levels and air movement). Understanding existing variability of the environmental conditions is critical […]

The current proposal includes analysis of a large set composed of different variables in order to a better understanding the factors that best explain the variability of pig and poultry responses exposed to environmental challenges. To achieve the initial goals, the present project includes an international partnership to analyze three databases (two of pigs and […]

Natural extracts have potential as anti-cancer therapeutics. Black Maitake mushroom extract (BME) is well tolerated, safe to be given as supplements over long period of time and has been approved from Health Canada for human consumption with NPN number. BME treatment has beneficial effect in patients as immunomodulator. We aim to provide scientific and preclinical […]

Lake Utopia Paper is interested in developing and improving the birch NSSC pulping process for the production of corrugating medium. The primary objective of this project is to develop delignification and sulfonation models for process control of NSSC pulping of birch. In addition, the relationship between the NSSC pulping process and the properties of the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Les nouvelles technologies peuvent entrainer un développement énorme aux industries, en particulier pour ceux qui savent en tirer profit. Dans ce cadre et pour des objectifs de concurrence sur le marché mondial, les usines de transformation de bois cherchent toujours à des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer la qualité de ses produits (panneaux de lamelles […]

La perte d’engins de pêche en mer représente un danger pour la vie marine, en particulier pour les baleines noires qui risquent de s’emmêler dans les cordages. C’est pourquoi la détection des engins de pêche abandonnés est une préoccupation majeure pour les scientifiques et les autorités maritimes. Les avancées dans l’intelligence artificielle offrent une solution […]

Livestock ranch operations balance complex production efficiencies with economics, resources and climate and could benefit from automation or implementation of new technology. However, the practical details of using technology on the ranch need to be further investigated to determine their true value. Often, on-farm scenarios with live animals introduce additional issues causing technology to function […]

Modernizing plant breeding programs through integrated genomic and phenomic data management and analysis is an important organizational innovation for many public and private plant breeding organizations. This project will expand the GenGuard database and software platform for additional high priority data sources from Nutrien, including new areas of business operations. The proposed project also aims […]

Canadian ocean and freshwater systems currently undergo rapidly changing disturbances that threaten high-value aquatic species such as shrimps and fishes, even in Marine Protected Areas. Whilst biologists gathered a large amount of knowledge (and data) about the responses of aquatic animals in such disturbed environments, our current understanding is often limited to individual single-layer levels […]

With over 30 years of experience, Ag-West Bio is a well established business and has developed a strong reputation with those we do business with. However, the wider agriculture industry is often not aware of Ag-West Bio and the work we do. In late 2022, the AWB management team began a re-branding exercise that will […]
