Develop non-caloric sweeteners for specific food applications.

Precision agriculture is the combination of sensing and applying water and nutrients at the "right" time to promote optimal plant growth in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
Currently, there is a need for new technologies that allow for rapid, on-site analysis of soil and crop quality. This project aims to develop the combined use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy for rapid chemical analysis of soil and nutrients in soil, plant parts (roots, leaves, seeds, etc.), and in the environment. Emphasis will be placed on measuring the supply of specific nutrients to plants, including nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, potassium and metals. The possibility of applying the technology to organic molecules, such as proteins, will also be explored.

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

Atlantic Institute for Resilience Inc. (AIR) is looking to offer its validated resilience training program through an asynchronous digital web-based platform. The development will allow for the scaling of the offering to many more end users and organizations.

Modify the structure of line 2 in order to add a collaborator robot to assist the operator in placing all kinds of materials on the rotating mandrel (rubber, canvas, tape, rope, spindle).

The purpose of this project is to support deeper consultations with potentially impacted Indigenous groups on federally-regulated projects.

The objective of this Project is to address a gap in the technology currently used in the management and reporting of Wildfire weather in the Maritime provinces. New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia require improvements to enhance their weather reporting capabilities. The new system will enhance the quality of weather data, produce several tabular reports, maps, and implement GIS capabilities to inform the public and other agencies of current and forecast fire hazard, for days at a time. This technology will better increase the ability of agencies to better manage the risk associated with wildfires and other natural hazards.

This project aims to develop tools to support decision-makers'planning and improve community preparedness for evacuations in the specific context of forest fires.

The objective of this Project is to document First Nations wildland fire stewardship knowledge of the Cree, Dene and Dakota cultural groups in Northern Saskatchewan. To enhance community capacity to research, mitigate wildfire incidence and risk on their own terms, and to generate best practices in order to inform provincial wildland fire management policies, operations and science. The Proponent will assemble First Nations wildland fire knowledge in Northern Saskatchewan. This initiative will increase community capacity to prepare for and respond to extreme wildfire events and improve services provided by wildfire management and emergency response. It will protect forest resources and communities by helping First Nations assert authority and jurisdiction on their traditional territories.
