Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences the University of Manitoba Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences The University of Manitoba Progress Review January – December 2004 dean’s message It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 51st Annual Progress Review of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba. In the following pages, you will learn about the many academic, research and outreach activities undertaken by the Faculty in 2004. Much of what is reported here was initiated under the guidance of Harold Bjarnason, who completed his term as Dean of the Faculty in July 2004. During his time in the Faculty, he had great vision and started the ball rolling on many of the projects in which we are cur- rently engaged. My goal is to build on his accomplishments and the Faculty’s many strengths. We can do this by focusing on multi-disci- plinary research themes, continuing to provide a high quality learning environment and supporting our staff in their valuable outreach and service activities. We are very excited about the Faculty’s changing physical landscape. The Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals is Mission Statement quickly taking shape on the Fort Garry campus. We, along with the Faculties of Human Ecology, Pharmacy and Medicine look forward to To provide leadership in the opening of this innovative research centre in Smartpark at the education and research by end of 2005.

RDI functions as a not-for-profit research and development organization designed to promote, facilitate, coordinate, initiate and conduct multi-disciplinary academic and applied research on rural issues. The Institute provides an interface between academic research efforts and the community by acting as a conduit of rural research information and by facilitating community involvement in rural development. RDI projects are characterized by cooperative and collaborative efforts of multi-stakeholders. The Institute has diverse research affiliations, and multiple community and government linkages related to its rural development mandate. RDI disseminates information to a variety of constituents and stakeholders and makes research information and results widely available to the public either in printed form or by means of public lectures, seminars, workshops and conferences.
