Gateway to the Future of Agri-Food Knowledge Gateway to the Future of Agri-Food Knowledge Industrial application of biotechnology is growing rapidly. The global demand for biotechnol- ogy-based products is expected to more than double from $20 billion in 1995 to $50 billion in 2005. Canada is emerging as a significant contributor to this growth. -Canadian Biotechnology Advisory Committee, Annual Report 1999-2000 There is no denying the impact of the statement above. The rapidly expanding field of agricul- tural biotechnology in Canada implies great opportunities, as well as great challenges and responsibilities. As the industry grows, not only will there be an increased demand for innovative research, but also the need for well-trained technical staff, scientists and business professionals. The Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba is preparing to meet these challenges. On the research side, the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences is poised to play a major role in the development of Manitoba’s own biotechnology sector. With the support of govern- ment and industry and collaboration with our research partners, we will take the lead in the study and development of functional foods and nutraceuticals made from crops native to our province. Other research areas continue to emerge that will prove vital to the sustainability of our economy and our environment. We continue to adapt and improve the Faculty’s academic programs to meet the demands of the agri-food industry. Our students receive strong science and business educations, with opportunities for international study, graduate work, and rewarding careers. The success of our students begins with the solid foundation laid by a team of dedicated and talented profes- sors. The Faculty’s instructors are regular winners of teaching awards, nominated both by their own students and by external agencies that wish to recognize these outstanding educators. It is with pleasure that I present the 48th Annual Progress Review of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. In the pages that follow, you will find a chronicle of the year’s academic, research and outreach activities. I invite you to read on.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    TOP EMPLOYERS COMPETITION ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS BY GEOFF KIRBYSON Your dream employer might be Google or Facebook, but the researchers behind the Manitoba’s Top Employers project hope job-seekers will wake up to what really makes a company a great place to work. As part of the Toronto-based Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition, the research team aims to increase the literacy of the national workforce, particularly millennials who tend to get caught up in the hype surrounding high-profile companies. Likes, views and retweets are fine in the moment, but they’re worth nothing when it comes to your future, they say. “We still write about great employers with defined benefit pension plans,” says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which manages the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “People don’t realize that can be the difference between a happy retirement or no retirement at all. As you get older, vacation time makes a big difference (in where you want to work). We still see employers offering two weeks to start and three weeks after five years. We like to publish what the MANITOBA’S very best are doing,” he says. Mediacorp has been ranking Canadian employers of all kinds for 19 years and Meehan’s team of editors doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting TOP EMPLOYERS stories of doing things differently in their industry WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2018 or region. “Each year, employers bare their souls to us. We have 400 data points that each of them shares with us, including benefits like maternity leave, top vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors,” he says.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    A SUPPLEMENT TO THE WEDNESDAY, MANITOBA’S DECEMBER 4, 2019 TOP EMPLOYERS VIEW ONLINE AT winnipegfreepress.com/publications - For advertising information, call: 204-697-7389 3 TOP EMPLOYERS RAISE THE BAR By Geoff Kirbyson It’s getting easier and easier to have a baby in Manitoba. But, wait — it’s not what you think. More than half of the companies on the Manitoba’s Top Employers list offer maternity leave top-up to new mothers and precisely half make paternity leave top-up available to new dads. That’s not all. Two companies, RAPID RTC, a software developer specializing in the automotive and agricultural sectors, and insurance giant Canada Life offer in vitro fertilization subsidies to employees who can’t conceive naturally. RAPID RTC’s subsidy is up to $15,000 while Canada Life offers $3,000. And two more employers, Manitoba Hydro and Roquette Canada, which operates a massive pea protein plant in Portage la Prairie, offer adoption assistance. Hydro’s benefit tops out at $10,000 while Roquette offers $500. “Those types of benefits were unheard of 14 years ago, when the Manitoba competition was launched,” said Tony Meehan, founder and president of Mediacorp Canada Inc., which organizes the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. The program is in its 20th year nationally and its 14th in Manitoba. Meehan said the editorial team at Mediacorp doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting stories of doing things differently in their industry or region. “Each year, companies bare their souls to us. We have about 400 data points, including maternity leave, vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors we consider,” he said.
