Feeding the Future

The agri-food industry is the most important in the world – we all need to eat. Research and innovation have enabled tremendous change in the livestock sector, and we can expect that change to increase in rate.

This year, the Ontario Agricultural College is celebrating its 150th anniversary. In a bold and exciting initiative, Feeding the Future, the University of Guelph is seeking input by asking “What can the University of Guelph do to help the Ontario agri-food system be the best in the world?” 

Feeding the Future seeks input from the people and businesses that make up Ontario’s agri-food sector from production to distribution, and everything in between. This is a collaboration between the University of Guelph, government, industry, and you. Together, we’ll lay the groundwork for the future — an efficient, productive and impactful agri-food innovation system that strengthens Ontario’s economy and benefits the health and well-being of all Ontarians.
 
Your insights will help identify key challenges and opportunities for the U of G to help contribute to Ontario’s agri-food sector being best in the world. You can share your input through an online survey or connect with Feeding the Future at a Listening Post event in your area.
