Program Goal

To bring together producers, agriculture companies, supply chain businesses, innovators, start-ups, investors and researchers to drive agricultural innovation in TNQ. Supporting innovation, research and knowledge that empowers our communities to drive real solutions.

The Agricultural Innovation Hub Program supports the uptake of innovation by producers while motivating and encouraging collaboration in the agricultural innovation system.
