Lakeland College aims to be a leader in research collaboration that drives innovation and excellence in commercial agriculture and student learning. Lakeland is well positioned in an intensive crop and livestock production region of Alberta and our research goals are to produce results of value to western Canadian producers and the agriculture value chain, while responsibly managing natural resources. The recently completed NSERC Innovation Enhancement Build program, "Enhancing Commercial Agricultural Productivity and Building the Rural Bioeconomy," supported the development of a strong research team including scientists, faculty and students as well as the development of a comprehensive base of agricultural research projects through strong relationships with 24 industry partners from 2013-2019. Partners included small and medium-sized enterprises, multinational companies, industry associations and producers, with the goal of improving agricultural productivity, profitability, efficiency and sustainability. The IE Extend proposal, "Enhancing Commercial Agricultural Productivity, Efficiency and Sustainability (2020-2023)," will build on this strong foundation of crop and livestock research and partnerships. Research will concentrate on supporting commercial agriculture for major crops (wheat, canola, field pea, barley, and oat), commercial and purebred beef, dairy, and sheep activities that are prevalent in the region. Addition of scientific and technical expertise in broadleaf (pulse and oilseed) agronomy and management as well as in livestock feed efficiency, supplementation, reproductive technologies and genomics will expand our research scope to meet the clear demand that exists. The project will address the innovation opportunity for development, implementation, validation, knowledge translation and commercialization of agricultural technologies that will enhance regional productivity and sustainability. Through alignment of the research with regional needs and dissemination of results to agricultural producers and industry, Lakeland will ensure that net research outcomes reflect the primary goal of sustainably increasing agricultural productivity in our region, in Alberta and in Canada.

莱克兰学院的目标是成为研究合作的领导者，推动商业农业和学生学习方面的创新和卓越。莱克兰位于艾伯塔省农作物和畜牧业生产密集地区，我们的研究目标是在负责任地管理自然资源的同时，为加拿大西部的生产者和农业价值链提供有价值的成果。最近完成的NSERC创新增强建设计划“提高商业农业生产力和建设农村生物经济”，支持了包括科学家、教职员工和学生在内的强大研究团队的发展，以及通过与24个行业合作伙伴的牢固关系，在2013-2019年发展了一个全面的农业研究项目基地。合作伙伴包括中小型企业、跨国公司、行业协会和生产者，其目标是提高农业生产率、盈利能力、效率和可持续性。IE扩展计划“提高商业农业生产力、效率和可持续性(2020-2023年)”将建立在作物和畜牧业研究和伙伴关系的坚实基础上。研究将集中支持该地区盛行的主要农作物(小麦、油菜籽、豌豆、大麦和燕麦)、商业和纯种牛肉、乳制品和绵羊活动的商业农业。增加阔叶(豆类和油籽)农艺和管理以及牲畜饲料效率、补充剂、繁殖技术和基因组学方面的科学和技术专长，将扩大我们的研究范围，以满足现有的明确需求。该项目将探讨农业技术的开发、实施、验证、知识转化和商业化的创新机会，以提高区域生产力和可持续性。通过使研究与地区需求保持一致，并将结果传播给农业生产者和工业，莱克兰将确保净研究成果反映出我们地区、艾伯塔省和加拿大可持续提高农业生产率的主要目标。
