Our Strategy
OAFT’s goal is to become the focal point for the coordination of Ontario’s drive to research, develop and commercialize new technologies in Ontario. We do that by:
- Developing, supporting and coordinating research programs among Ontario institutions.
- Assisting in the commercialization of biotechnology products.
- Stimulating awareness, acceptance and use of biotechnologies by the Agri-food sector.
- Educating stakeholders about the value and benefits of biotechnology.
- Enhancing visibility and raising awareness of the agricultural biotechnology industries of Ontario – in the rest of Canada and internationally.
- Assisting in the commercialization of biotechnology products.
Our success is dependent on maximum participation by our industry, government, university and grower association members.
