In Northern Ontario, agriculture, aquaculture, and food processing are priority sectors, actively contributing to regional economic growth and diversification. Despite a rising interest among consumer for fresh and locally grown produce, producers and agri-businesses face specific challenges and barriers including, but not limited to difficult environmental conditions exacerbated by climate change, lack of crop/economic diversification, insufficient infrastructure and support services, labour shortages and declining demographics. To address these challenges and support emerging innovations and workforce objectives in these sectors, Collège Boréal is seeking to enhance and expand its established applied research strengths in agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, and biodiversity. Leveraging support for agricultural and horticultural productivity, as well as environmental sustainability, the college aims to enhance student success and entrepreneurship, develop, and optimize creative and sustainable innovations, and cultivate healthy and accessible environments. The knowledge and innovation outputs generated from the proposed applied research program are essential to building and maintaining a vibrant economy in Northern Ontario.

在北方安大略，农业、水产养殖和食品加工是优先部门，积极促进区域经济增长和多样化。尽管消费者对新鲜和当地种植的农产品的兴趣日益增加，但生产者和农业综合企业面临着具体的挑战和障碍，包括但不限于气候变化加剧的困难环境条件，缺乏作物/经济多样化，基础设施和支持服务不足，劳动力短缺和人口减少。为了应对这些挑战并支持这些领域的新兴创新和劳动力目标，Boréal学院正在寻求加强和扩大其在农业，水产养殖，林业和生物多样性方面的应用研究优势。利用对农业和园艺生产力以及环境可持续性的支持，该学院旨在提高学生的成功和创业精神，开发和优化创造性和可持续创新，并培养健康和无障碍的环境。从拟议的应用研究计划产生的知识和创新成果是必不可少的建设和保持北方安大略充满活力的经济。
