Impact story

A three-decade partnership in agricultural innovation

John Bragg is Chairman, President, and Co-Chief Operating Officer of the Nova Scotia-based Oxford Frozen Foods Limited, the world’s largest supplier of wild blueberries. He has been working closely with the Faculty of Agriculture for more than three decades.

“We partnered with the Faculty on everything from improving crop yields to creating state-of-the-art processing operations. We would not be where we are today — an international leader — without the innovations and technology the faculty has developed for us.â€
