In ancient Greece, the agora was a marketplace where people would gather to discuss and debate.

That’s exactly what the CAAIN Network is meant to be. An environment where anyone with an interest in agri-food innovation–particularly if it’s relevant to Canada but all are welcome–has a safe and vibrant space to exchange ideas.

With that in mind, we’re not going to impose any rules other than the following:

Keep it clean.
Be respectful. This is a safe space. Personal attacks or abusive language will result in the revocation of the offending party’s membership.
We encourage you to tell us how we can improve.

Enjoy.

Frequently Asked Membership Questions

Can organisations join the Network?

Absolutely. The only stipulation is that there be a contact person. Our site provides plenty of opportunity to promote your work and that of you organisation.

Can more than one person join from any given organisation?

Absolutely. The more members we have, the greater the value of belonging. Also, we're examining the feasibility of using this network to create an interactive map of Canada's agri-food technology ecosystem. This is all about encouraging a "collaborate to innovate" mindset, which starts with forming connections and building interdisciplinary bridges. So spread the word and invite your colleagues and other professional contacts to grow what will become a valuable Canadian agri-food resource.

I know “non agri-food” people who might want to join. Would they be welcome?

In a word: YES! We believe that the solutions to the world's most pressing agri-food challenges require interdisciplinary collaboration--cross-pollination, in agricultural terms. We are particularly interested in the participation of technical and technology professionals--for example, engineers and computer programmers who might not think of the agri-food sector as a natural fit for their expertise. That said, innovation takes many forms, and all professions may be able to add value.

Am I allowed to create a group or a forum?

Please do. Discussions are the name of the game. We don't want to generate all the content. This is a community and we encourage you to contribute to its growth.

I have a membership question that isn’t listed.

No problem. Simply email your inquiry to info@caain.ca. We'll respond within one business day.
