Welcome to the fall 2026 issue of The Vineland Quarterly E-Newsletter. In this issue, we explore some of the people, priorities and technologies helping to shape the future of horticulture.
We share an update on Ontario’s horticultural research priority-setting process and explore how digital horticulture is transforming decision-making across the sector. We also shine the Vineland Spotlight on Amy Blake, Sensory Panel Lead and Senior Research Technician, whose work helps connect consumer preferences with innovation. Looking ahead, we invite members of our local community to apply for our sensory panel and play a role in shaping the products of the future, while Darby McGrath examines the emerging field of plant metabolomics and the new opportunities this powerful tool can unlock for the industry.
