IAF and Genome BC partnered to develop the Genomic Innovations for Regenerative Agriculture, Food and Fisheries (GIRAFF) Program. The program’s goal was to co-invest in projects that provide genomic solutions to support the BC agriculture, food and fisheries sectors in addressing climate change.

The program focused on three objectives:

• Develop and deploy novel genomic technologies to optimize productivity and ensure sustainability in a changing climate.
• Leverage innovative genomic solutions to improve the health of crops, livestock, fisheries and ecosystems impacted by climate change.
• Support genomic innovations to reduce environmental impact.
