June 27 – Genome Canada: Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative
Genome Canada recently launched the Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative to invest $30M in cutting-edge genomic research and innovation to reduce the carbon footprint of Canada’s food production systems.

Interested applicants are encouraged to direct questions to Genome BC at ClimateSmart@genomebc.ca or register for one of our upcoming information sessions:
