Vineland’s Tomato-on-the-Vine (TOV) Shared Research Trial
Vineland Research and Innovation Centre’s Tomato-on-the-Vine (TOV) Shared Research Trial offers a unique opportunity for agri-tech companies to validate, refine, and advance their horticultural technologies in a collaborative, real-world environment.
The initiative is designed to accelerate agri-tech innovation by combining Agricultural Research and Innovation Ontario’s (ARIO), an agency of the Government of Ontario, and Vineland’s advanced research facilities, Technology Readiness Level (TRL)- based evaluation, and the expertise of leaders in greenhouse systems, digital technologies, and biological research. Through this shared model, participants gain access to Vineland’s deep scientific and technical capabilities, at a fraction of the cost of running independent trials. Collaboration is at the heart of the program. Participating companies work directly with Vineland’s team of experts and a Grower Advisory Panel to ensure new technologies align with grower needs and deliver practical, market-ready solutions. This hands-on partnership provides not only
scientific validation but also valuable industry exposure through Vineland’s networks, connecting innovators with growers and decision-makers across Canada.
By fostering a shared space for research and development, Vineland’s TOV Shared Research Trial bridges the gap between innovation and application, helping agri-tech solutions reach the market faster, stronger, and smarter

About Vineland Research and Innovation Centre
Vineland is a uniquely Canadian, results-oriented organization dedicated to horticulture science and innovation. We deliver innovative products, solutions and services through an integrated and collaborative cross-country network to advance Canada’s research and commercialization agenda.
Vineland is situated on treaty lands. These lands are steeped in the rich history of the First Nations, including the Hatiwendaronk, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people from across Turtle Island live and work in Niagara today. Vineland stands with all Indigenous people, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live.
We are an independent, not-for-profit organization, funded in part by the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), a five-year, federal-provincial-territorial initiative. For the latest on our research and innovation, visit www.vinelandresearch.com.
