Feds, Manitoba investing $600K towards protein hub

The federal and Manitoba governments are investing a combined $600 thousand dollars to establish an agriculture hub.

It’s aimed at supporting the implementation of Project ASPIRE, which stands for Accelerating Sustainable Protein Impact and Results, that’ll provide stakeholders the opportunity to work collaboratively at industry-led roundtables.

These roundtables are planned to help advance sustainable protein production and processing in the province.

“The ASPIRE Hub is a tremendous example of protein industry stakeholders working together towards a strategic vision,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Engaging the entire value-chain will improve competitiveness and long-term growth of Manitoba’s protein sector.”
