Aug. 13, 2014, Truro, N.S. — Ottawa is providing eight million dollars to the Dalhousie University agriculture campus to boost research into organic farming.
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz visited the Truro campus yesterday to make the announcement.

The university says the funding will help support two faculty of agriculture researchers, Chris Cutler and Derek Lynch.
