Eastern Ontario Agri-Food Learning Centre Platform Launch
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Eastern Ontario Agri-Food Learning Platform – a new online space designed for local producers and anyone who loves to learn about our agri-food sector. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to grow your knowledge, this user-friendly platform is for you!
Explore it here: learning.savoureaston.ca
We warmly thank the local producers, experts, and partners who shared their time and insights for the first round of content. Their contributions are what make this platform valuable and rooted in real-life experience.
We also gratefully acknowledge the Ontario Trillium Foundation for the funding that made the creation of this platform possible.
We are actively working to make all content available in both official languages, and we look forward to working on Round Two

PARO is conducting a survey to better understand how these tariffs are impacting local businesses. Your input is essential in helping us advocate for policies that support our region’s economic resilience.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate this survey within your network:
