Governments of Canada and Manitoba invest nearly $100,000 to upgrade horticulture storage facility
The governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing $98,970 through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership to upgrade the University of Manitoba’s horticulture storage facility so it can conduct innovative potato research, federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Manitoba Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson announced today.
“Ensuring that our scientists have the tools they need to conduct their research is essential to support the resilience and competitiveness of the agricultural sector,” said Bibeau. “The work being accomplished in these potato storage facilities will help producers reduce food waste on their farms. In the end, this research should allow for the reduction of pollution and an increase in revenue.”
