We help advance innovative genomics research to drive climate-smart agriculture across Canada! The Network consists of two coordination centres supporting a national research portfolio in sustainable agriculture and food systems.
We facilitate knowledge and data exchange to foster collaboration and leverage opportunities for cross-portfolio impacts. Learn more about each centre, the research portfolio, and the work we do.
AG-ACt is a knowledge mobilization centre that connects interest-holders across the genomics ecosystem. It amplifies the impact of the portfolio by supporting knowledge mobilization and commercialization activities, providing training opportunities for students and researchers, and leveraging project insights to influence policy and practice.
CS-DCC is a data centre that enables efficient sharing, management, and governance of research data across the portfolio. It creates a collaborative data ecosystem through standardized frameworks, open-source toolkits, and training to strengthen community data competency.
Each ICT is focused on innovative genomics solutions in climate-smart agri-food. Bringing together researchers, businesses, farmers, government partners, and communities, the goal of the research portfolio is to minimize the environmental impact of agricultural practices and pave the way for a sustainable future. Learn more about each project and explore opportunities to get involved.
Tailored for researchers, students, and industry professionals—our resources help build talent, expand capacity, and promote collaboration to maximize the impact of genomics research. Explore training, workshops, and resources from both centres to enhance your skills and contribute to a more sustainable future.
