The research program proposed by Dr. Robert Pelton, for the renewal of his Tier 1 CRC in Interfacial Technologies will build and execute a new collaborative, multi-disciplinary initiative called Fibres-for-Farmers. The vision is to develop new agricultural applications for high value-added materials based on superior Canadian northern softwood pulp fibres. For example, thin cellulosic membranes covering soil could inhibit weeds, reduce moisture loss and deliver nutrients. Similarly, cellulosic foams could replace thousands of hectares of unrecyclable rockwool in greenhouses. Fibres-for-Farmers will break down the scientific and technological barriers that currently prevent these new opportunities for Canadian forest products.

罗伯特·佩尔顿博士提出的研究计划，为他在界面技术的一级CRC的更新，将建立和执行一个新的协作，多学科的倡议，称为纤维为农民。我们的愿景是开发基于上级加拿大北方软木纸浆纤维的高附加值材料的新农业应用。例如，覆盖在土壤上的纤维素薄膜可以抑制杂草，减少水分流失并提供养分。同样，纤维素泡沫可以取代温室中数千公顷不可回收的岩棉。农民用纤维将打破目前阻碍加拿大森林产品获得这些新机会的科学和技术障碍。
