Across Canada, agriculture is entering a new phase of transformation. In fields from the Prairies to the Maritimes, researchers and entrepreneurs are using data and algorithms as tools of cultivation. Artificial intelligence now supports precision crop management, while connected sensors track soil health, irrigation, and yield forecasts in real time. What was once considered experimental technology has become practical infrastructure for a sector facing growing pressure to p

Across Canada’s farmlands, researchers and entrepreneurs are working together to transform how food is grown, measured, and marketed. What was once an experimental mix of sensors and data science is becoming part of daily practice. From prairie grains to Atlantic vegetables, new precision agriculture tools are helping producers monitor soil moisture, predict yields, and adapt to shifting weather. Many see these innovations as essential not only for competitiveness, but also f

After a season of droughts that tested crops from Alberta to Atlantic Canada, the conversation around food resilience has shifted from theory to practice. Across research fields and regional economies, agri-food innovators are turning to data, sensing, and automation to anticipate future pressures on yield and supply. A growing number of farms use precision irrigation guided by soil analytics, while others are experimenting with AI models that forecast moisture loss or optimi

Across Canada, farmers and entrepreneurs are rethinking how food is grown, harvested and delivered. New technology is becoming central to...
