MFGA Water Management Software Nearing Completion

Feb 08, 2018

Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) Executive Director Duncan Morrison says the group's Aquanty water management software project should be completed this spring.

The HydroGeoSphere modelling platform will focus on the Assiniboine River Basin.

He explained how the software will be rolled out.

"The model will be built and then there will be a license for people to access this model. We're working on that accessibility right now. We're looking at ways that we can get the most amount of people to access the model and they can either figure out how that model can help look at flood or drought, to help them with decisions on their own farm, as well as throughout the area."

Video: Finding a Balance of Innovation and Regulation - Dr. Peter Facchini

Regulations help markets and industry exist on level playing fields, keeping consumers safe and innovation from going too far. However, incredibly strict regulations can stunt innovation and cause entire industries to wither away. Dr. Peter James Facchini brings his perspective on how existing regulations have slowed the advancement of medical developments within Canada. Given the international concern of opium poppy’s illicit potential, Health Canada must abide by this global policy. But with modern technology pushing the development of many pharmaceuticals to being grown via fermentation, is it time to reconsider the rules?

Dr. Peter James Facchini leads research into the metabolic biochemistry in opium poppy at the University of Calgary. For more than 30 years, his work has contributed to the increased availability of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthetic genes to assist in the creation of morphine for pharmaceutical use. Dr. Facchini completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto before completing Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biochemistry at the University of Kentucky in 1992 & Université de Montréal in 1995.
