Food research network scratching seven-year itch

Owen Roberts February 16th, 2010

In all of Canada, only one national research network is dedicated to agri-food, the Advanced Foods and Materials Network. Its seven-year funding term is up for renewal, and based on its performance, I believe it deserves another seven years. I write about the network’s past and future in my Urban Cowboy column in today’s Guelph Mercury.

Below is the cover of the latest AFMNet publication, Advance,  produced by my SPARK program at the University of Guelph.

    Thanks! I’d say it raises the bar for covers to come.

    We were fortunate to have a hot topic, an extremely cooperative and enthusiastic researcher and an excellent photographer.
