Program objective
To accelerate the rate of identification, assessment, development and adoption of innovation-based products, thereby providing new market-oriented, commercialization opportunities for the agri-food sector.
Expected results of the program
The program will:
- draw on existing or develop new, agriculturally-related value chains which include producer involvement as well as the involvement of value-chains;
- identify and technologically assess the use of traditional and new commodities and their components for use in a wide range of new products and markets;
- enhance the rate of identification and adoption of new science-based innovations using agricultural inputs through transformational/proofing techniques and processes; and
- move producers and rural communities up the value chain thus increasing their share of agri-sector income.
Time frame for Program
The program is operational and will end March 31, 2008.
