Agenda
Food for Health Research Theme
The Food for Health Research theme focuses on improving the health of Ontarians and the competitiveness of Ontario's agri-food sector through food for health.
Collaborations with industry, grower groups, other researchers and/or Ontario food for health initiatives are strongly encouraged. An established audience for the outcomes from the research proposal is encouraged to show the research is demand-driven. Clear indication of benefits to Ontario is key in any research proposal. Benefits (economic, social, environmental, competitiveness etc.) must be specific and if possible targeted to an identified audience.
