Food From Thought is a $76.7 million research program at the University of Guelph. The program, which began in 2016, is funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund for 7 years.

The Food From Thought program intends to exponentially increase our ability to leverage big data for the benefit of food production and biodiversity at three scales of research and innovation: global, landscape and microscale.

The program will integrate and strengthen the University’s data management and analysis capabilities across our facilities and our partners, and better support and incubate faculty and student innovations.
