Background<\/strong><\/p>\n Manitoba\u2019s agricultural industry is well positioned to seize global market opportunities through the design and adoption of digital technologies. There are opportunities in crop and animal production, processing, transportation, and many other areas along the value chain from farm to consumer.<\/p>\n Government of Canada supports growth of the digital agriculture industry in Manitoba. In 2019, Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) invested in two projects. The University of Winnipeg (UWinnipeg) will work in partnership with Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (EMILI) to promote machine learning and grow the digital agriculture industry in Manitoba. The research team includes experts from UWinnipeg, Red River College, the University of Saskatchewan, Northstar Robotics, Sightline Innovation, the Canola Council of Canada, and Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers.<\/p>\n The Digital Agriculture is an important sector for Manitoba\u2019s economy.
