Canada, India to Collaborate on Agri-Biotech Information Exchange
January 12, 2007| |
Canada announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India to facilitate the exchange of technology and expertise between the two countries in conducting research in agriculture, agri-food, and rural development. Of particular interest are agricultural biotechnology, bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers, functional and nutraceutical foods and environmental technologies. The MOU does not involve an exchange of funding, but establishes guidelines for setting research priorities and projects.
