Value-added food is an important part of New Brunswick's food sector. Companies that work in value-added food are important employers throughout the province, serving often as anchors of the economic and social fabric in rural and coastal communities. New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is building capacity in value-added food applied research through our Culinary Arts, Culinary Arts Management, and Cook programs. There are six professional chefs at the college each with many years of industry experience. NBCC is well positioned to help New Brunswick companies in the food sector with value-added food development projects. Moreover, NBCC is training the students who will become the highly qualified personnel (HQP) working in industry or starting their own businesses. ****Strategic areas for investment and activity have been identified by the province as keys to enhancing the competitiveness of the value-added food sector including product diversification to meet market opportunities (e.g., new product development); and improving product marketability (e.g., lifespan, consumer appeal). Given the small scale of many companies in New Brunswick, they often lack the means to conduct in-house research, finance contracted research, or invest in new processes. The equipment supported through this ARTI funding will enable NBCC to collaborate with industry to accomplish all of these activities and to support the pre-commercial development efforts of companies through pilot projects and prototypes. ****

增值食品是新玩法食品部门的重要组成部分。从事增值食品的公司是全省重要的雇主，往往是农村和沿海社区经济和社会结构的支柱。新玩法社区学院（NBCC）正在通过我们的烹饪艺术，烹饪艺术管理和烹饪课程建立增值食品应用研究的能力。学院有六名专业厨师，每人都有多年的行业经验。NBCC处于有利地位，可以帮助新玩法食品部门的公司开展增值食品开发项目。此外，NBCC正在培养学生谁将成为高素质的人才（HQP）在行业工作或创业。* 该省已将投资和活动的战略领域确定为提高增值食品部门竞争力的关键，包括产品多样化以满足市场机会（例如，新产品开发）;以及提高产品适销性（例如，寿命、消费者吸引力）。鉴于新玩法的许多公司规模较小，它们往往缺乏进行内部研究、资助合同研究或投资于新工艺的手段。通过这项阿尔蒂资金支持的设备将使NBCC能够与行业合作，完成所有这些活动，并通过试点项目和原型支持公司的商业前开发工作。****
