Since launching Innovation Farms, EMILI has partnered on a number of digital agriculture activities that aim to increase productivity, sustainability, and profitability across the agriculture and agri-food sector. This page represents some of this work. To learn more about EMILI’s ongoing work to test and validate new technologies, demonstrate the productivity and sustainability of commercialized technologies, and accelerate the adoption of digital tools, visit Innovation Farms.
In 2023, EMILI’s successes included welcoming more than 350 visitors to Innovation Farms, joining the Pan-Canadian Smart Farm Network, providing space for 25 agtech tests and demos, providing students with hands-on experience, and constructing an 8,500 square foot Innovation Farms Center to increase opportunities for EMILI and its partners to analyze farm data, demonstrate and test technology solutions, and host meetings and events.
