About

The Global Institute for Agritech (GIA) at Simon Fraser University (SFU) aims to be a leader in agricultural technology research and innovation.

With a multidisciplinary membership and advisory council, GIA will adopt an interdisciplinary approach to tackle global challenges such as drought resilience, soil degradation, and food security. The institute will focus on innovative solutions in precision farming, sustainable pest management, and crop diversification. By forging strategic partnerships with industry leaders, academic institutions, and government agencies both nationally and internationally, GIA seeks to foster a collaborative ecosystem that encourages knowledge sharing and the practical application of research findings.
