Cloning technique using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is valuable in agricultural field since it used to generate elite animals. However, there are various limitations in cloning animals such as occurrence of fetal disease and low success rate. In this project, we aim to optimize a safer and more stable technique that can replace cloning. […]

The objective is to demonstrate that the data can be reliably captured from the containerized farm, stored in the cloud and their digital twin solutions, and presented to human decision makers to support the monitoring of the growing environment.

Le projet vise à caractériser le potentiel d’habitat de plusieurs espèces culturellement significatives, dont le lynx du Canada, sur le territoire de 2 communautés autochtones de l’Abitibi, à proposer un zonage du territoire selon des vocations identifiées par les communautés (ex. chasse au petit gibier) et à élaborer des recommandations d’aménagement du territoire. Le stagiaire […]

Farms currently suffer from undervalued commodities, spoilage, and traceability issues. While Canadian growers can market their own grain, this places extra responsibilities on the grower such as monitoring the time, price, and place they wish to sell their grain. To determine the price of grain one must be able to determine the quality of the […]

Soil acidity in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia has been recognized as a problem since the early 1960’s. With the current application of N fertilizers, this problem has persisted making it unsustainable to maintain high crop yields in the long term. This project hypothesizes that the one-time application of lime to increase soil pH will […]

This program will investigate the role disease plays in salmon declines and the risks posed by open-net salmon farming to wild Pacific salmon. First, our ongoing partnership with the Broughton Archipelago Transition Initiative (BATI) will monitor salmon-farm impacts, serving as a testing ground for monitoring technologies to support Indigenous self-determination. Second, we will expand our […]

The intern will assist the company in upgrading and advancing the use of different information technologies including an HRM system, a knowledge base, and primarily focusing on an ERP system. These duties will include auditing the data entered in these systems, updating new features, training staff on new features, and performing basic data analysis to […]

Farming on lands converted from boreal forest is challenged by the low fertility, high acidity and metal toxicity of their soils. Soil organic matter mitigates loss of fertility and facilitates retention and use efficiency of nutrients added with fertilisers. Fertilisers are the most expensive inputs for the farms in the region. Currently there is no […]

L’industrie agroalimentaire produit des tonnes de résidus de céleri et de laitue qui sont soit compostés, soit rejetés à grand frais. Ces résidus végétaux sont très riches en nitrates à l’extraction ou à la valorisation pour le domaine des aliments biologiques à valeur ajoutée pour la santé. La présente proposition vise à développer deux extraits […]

Ce projet porte sur la bonification des outils d’analyse des contraintes organisationnelles et psychosociales du travail du guide INSPQ pour la prévention des TMS (Stock et al, 2021), afin de mieux tenir compte du sexe et du genre en prévention des TMS. Un comité de suivi avec d’utilisateurs potentiels des outils et des experts sera […]

Manitoba has an opportunity to transform agriculture practices through advances in sensors, robotics, and machine learn-ing. Real-time, automated methods of in-field data collection are needed to increase productivity and sustainability in production agriculture, to expedite plant breeding and research, and to further the uptake of organic farming. To this end, we are developing a self-propelled, […]

On the former floodplain of the Mamquam River in Squamish, British Columbia are a series of side-channels that were constructed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 1983-1996. These channels were built to restore some of the side-channel habitat that was lost following the dyking of the Mamquam River mainstem for flood protection. […]
