Who We Are

A hub built around the farmer

GRIS — the Green Revolution Innovation Society — connects Canadian farmers with the resources, partners and knowledge they need to thrive.

GRIS is building…

a Canadian agricultural innovation and collaboration hub — a place where farmers connect with the research, funding, technology, expertise, industry and markets that help them succeed. We don't replace the people and institutions already doing great work; we connect farmers to them and help the whole ecosystem move together.

Every farm is different, and so is every path to growth. GRIS acts as the connective tissue between farmers and the wider world of agricultural innovation — surfacing the right opportunities, introducing the right partners and turning knowledge into practical progress on real farms.

Our work begins in British Columbia, rooted in the realities of Canadian agriculture, with a model designed to grow across the country.
