U of G and Vineland Sign New Research Partnership
May 6, 2009
Officials from the University of Guelph and the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre signed a research partnership agreement to collaborate on national and international industry-driven horticulture research initiatives.
The agreement, signed by Kevin Hall, the U of G's vice-president (research), and Jim Brandle, Vineland's chief executive officer, is expected to yield new ideas and products for Canada's grape growers and winemakers, fruit producers, and professional landscapers, ranging from new fruit cultivars with health-boosting antioxidants to wider food choices at the supermarket.
Both partners will conduct research and develop products for the multi-million-dollar agri-food industry, said Rich Moccia, U of G's interim associate vice-president (research) agri-food and partnerships.
