AFMNet is Canada's front line of research and development in the area of advanced foods and bio-materials - from new, lower cost antibiotics, to improved frozen food quality to faster healing wound dressings.

We are a dynamic, national network of hundreds of scientific researchers, professionals, industry partners and government agencies, working on 20 research projects that are breaking new ground and discovering ways to improve the foods we eat, the products we make, and the goods we buy.

We are already producing innovative research, published results, patented applications, and commercial initiatives for the transfer of technology to Canadian companies and public agencies.

Our Vision:

A healthier Canada, new industry opportunities, and new, sustainable commercial materials and methods.

Our Mission:

Canada is a world leader in developing healthier foods, safer processing, and commercial bio-materials. To reinforce and cultivate our leadership, the Advanced Foods and Materials Network is a unique, catalytic organization which accelerates scientific opportunities by...

• identifying and funding numerous food and materials related research projects;
• networking and involving academic, industrial and governmental experts across Canada;
• collecting and sharing results, and news of their applications;
• facilitating technology transfer for commercial use.

This is how we will improve the lives of Canadians and create new opportunities for Canadian business.
