Welcome
For over a century, research has been carried out in Canada in support of commercial agriculture. In 1886, the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa and four other farms across the country were established for agricultural research. Today the Research Branch operates 19 establishments from coast to coast.
"One Hundred Harvests" by T.H. Anstey tells the story of the efforts and contributions of the Research Branch from 1886-1986. In 1886, its goals were to serve the farming community and assist the Canadian agricultural industry in its early development. Today, the Research Branch continues to promote growth, stability, sustainability, and competitiveness of the agri-food sector with its varied research programs. Research programs focus on all components of agriculture, including natural resources, animal and crop production, protection, food processing , nutrition and food safety.
