AgraPoint's agricultural production and food safety specialists support the growth of farms, agriculture and seafood processors and associations. Working in an integrated team environment, we help clients solve problems on farm, ensure their food products are safe, and provide the information and training they need to grow. We also transfer our knowledge to farmers in other countries through international development work, most recently in Haiti and Africa. Our connection to Nova Scotia Agricultural College supports two-way communication on research initiatives, and also enables us to connect clients to the research and commercialization facilities at the NSAC's AgriTech Park.
