Our Mission
To promote and support the development of a strong
agricultural, food and health products research community and
industry in Manitoba.
Background
The Manitoba government, under the leadership of Manitoba
Science, Technology, Energy, Sciences and Mines (STEM) and
Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiative (MAFRI) and with
funding support from Growing Forward and
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) see vast opportunities
for research and industry development in functional foods and
natural health products (FFN). As a result, the Manitoba Agri-Health
Research Network was established.
FFN Leadership
Role Manitoba is poised to play a significant leadership role in
the FFN sector thanks to significant local opportunities to
strengthen its research capacity in the life science area. In
order to achieve its vision and mission, Manitoba Agri-Health
Research Network will initially promote and support three
globally acclaimed facilities as one comprehensive research
entity – a singular bioactives cluster.
