Ontario Investing $41 Million in Agricultural Research Infrastructure

October 8, 2025

Our government is taking action to protect Ontario’s agri-food sector, and we are proud to support farmers and business owners.

Through this $41 million investment in research and innovation, we are ensuring farmers and business owners have the best solutions to remain resilient and competitive against U.S. tariffs and ensure families can continue to buy high-quality, Ontario-made food.

Agriculture Research and Innovation Ontario (ARIO) provides space for high impact agriculture and food research which turns research into direct solutions to farmers and business owners, increasing their productivity and strengthening Ontario’s economy.

Investing in agri-food research and helping farmers adopt new innovations are key drivers in achieving the goals of the province’s Grow Ontario Strategy, making Ontario a continued leader in the global agri-food industry.
