Advancing Food and Beverage Science and Sustainability

Fanshawe College’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation in Biotechnology (CARIB) is a collaborative hub for industry-led research in food and beverage science, innovation and processing.

Through its work, CARIB accelerates new product development, encourages knowledge sharing and technology transfer in the food and beverage sector and promotes the development of a network within the industry.

CARIB supports the bioeconomy by working on projects to reduce waste along the food production supply chain and provide solutions to sectoral challenges related to product development, process optimization and technology adoption in agriculture.

CARIB answers the need to produce more nutritious food and beverage products while reducing environmental impact. This includes research in cannabis processing through our cannabis research licence.
