Agriculture & Ecosystems

Our institution's flagship advanced microbiology and genetics laboratory in Beaverlodge, Alberta is equipped with leading-edge tools and resources to support research and diagnostics for a variety of industries across the agriculture and forestry sector

From animal nutrition and forage quality, crop and animal residues, pest entomology, to bioremediation, we are poised to help communities and signature northern industries thrive.

Our facility is also home to NWP’s National Bee Diagnostic Centre (NBDC) which is the only facility dedicated to improving bee health and providing innovative solutions to pollination challenges in Canada. Travel further north and you will find research plots and animal handling facilities at Fairview Campus.

With all these elements in place, NWP is eager to collaborate with local producers and other academic institutions on agricultural science, animal health, forage, agri-business and other areas of interest.
