To enhance its service to the agri-food production sector, a priority area for applied research under its newStrategic Mandate Agreement (SMA) 2017-2020, Fanshawe College proposes to establish the Centre forBioeconomy at Fanshawe College (CBE@Fan), a collaborative, industry-led research hub within our newlyopened Centre for Advanced Research and Innovation in Biotechnology (CARIB). Federal and provincialpolicy looks to grow the agri-food production sector (and agriculture more generally) through increasedinnovation, recognizing its importance to the economy at all levels. However, agri-food producers face sectoralbarriers to innovation that hamper growth, including inefficient knowledge diffusion and delayed technologyadoption, insufficient support for product development and commercialization, and shortages of skilled labour.Currently, Fanshawe engages with about forty companies in this sector a year, but requires CBE@Fan'sincreased capacity to address these larger sectoral issues. Consultation with local and regional stakeholdersidentified bioeconomy projects-including the creation of new bioproducts, the enhancement of existing foodand beverage products, and the valorization of agri-food waste-in three theme areas that could be served byCBE@Fan: 1) plant and soil health; 2) food innovation; and 3) Agri-Food Waste to Bioproducts Value Chains.The facilities, equipment, expertise, and personnel available to partners would make investments in innovationworthwhile, expedite product development and commercialization, and improve knowledge diffusion andtechnology adoption through its emphasis on collaborative and networked approaches to research andinnovation. Further, by involving students in company-led applied research projects, CBE@Fan will develophighly qualified personnel (HQP) for the local workforce able to translate innovation activities from the lab tothe workplace. Ultimately, we anticipate CBE@Fan will have an immediate and significant impact on thecommercialization of new products, the establishment of new revenue streams, and the creation of new jobs.

为了加强对农业食品生产领域的服务，这是根据其Newstrategic授权协议（SMA）2017-2020的应用研究领域，Fanshawe College建议在Fanshawe College（CBE@fan）建立中心的Forbioecomenomy，该中心是我们在我们的新研究中心的Bibiecation和Innerivech Innerovech的新知识研究中心（CBE），由行业领导的研究中心（Care）领导的研究中心。联邦和省级风格希望通过增加的信息来发展农业食品生产部门（以及更普遍的农业），并认识到其对各级经济的重要性。 However, agri-food producers face sectoralbarriers to innovation that hamper growth, including inefficient knowledge diffusion and delayed technologyadoption, insufficient support for product development and commercialization, and shortages of skilled labour.Currently, Fanshawe engages with about forty companies in this sector a year, but requires CBE@Fan'sincreased capacity to address these larger sectoral issues.与地方和区域利益相关者的咨询，包括创建新的生物产品，现有食品和饮料产品的创建，以及对农业食品浪费的三个主题领域的价值，@fan@fan@fan：1）的植物和土壤健康； 2）食品创新； 3）农业食品浪费对生物产品的价值。可供合作伙伴提供的设施，设备，专业知识和人员将对创新，加快产品开发和商业化的投资，并通过强调研究和网络的研究和网络方法来改善知识扩散和技术的采用。此外，通过让学生参与公司领导的应用研究项目，CBE@FAN将发展合格的人员（HQP），以便当地劳动力能够转化实验室工作场所的创新活动。最终，我们预计CBE@Fan将对新产品的商业化，新收入来源的商业化以及新工作的创造产生立即和重大影响。
