International scientific cooperation: new framework agreement extended to several key areas between Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and INRAE

Both entities have been working together for many years in several key areas of shared interest. They are also active together in international and multilateral fora involving research. Since their first agreement in 2015, the two scientific organizations have developed numerous collaborations, for example on carbon sequestration in soil, ruminants and their effects on the environment (GHG) and the physiology of milk production and milk quality.

This new agreement reinforces their scientific collaboration and will facilitate as from this year new projects on emerging topics, co-selected and co-financed by the two organizations, based on exchanges, particularly of young researchers, and this in several fields such as the microbiome of plants and soils, open innovation (living labs), agri-food processes, livestock farming and dairy products, but also in other areas of common interest which will be identified in the years to come.
