Canadian Agri-Science Cluster for Horticulture 4
The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) is actively preparing for the opportunity to establish a fourth Canadian AgriScience Cluster for Horticulture under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) next agricultural policy framework for 2023-2028. AgriScience Clusters are intended to mobilize industry, government and academia through partnerships, and address priority themes and horizontal issues that are national in scope.
February 2023 update: FVGC has completed the Cluster 4 proposal process and submitted the Hort Cluster 4 application to AAFC on January 19, 2023.
Thank you to all that participated – researchers, industry members, peer reviewers – your time and expertise has been of great value to the horticulture cluster.
