Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) has entered a memorandum of understanding with Farm Credit Canada (FCC) to deliver faster, smarter on-farm support to Canadian producers.
The new tool, called Root, is a free generative AI tool created by FCC.
Root can close information gaps and provide users with fast and reliable support any time, at any place. The tool can assist farmers to be more productive and help them make better decisions on the farm.

Saving southern Alberta’s Bob Creek Ranch
The Waldron Grazing Co-op and the Nature Conservancy of Canada are working towards the conservation of the Bob Creek Ranch around the Cowboy Trail in southern Alberta.
The collaboration between RDAR and FCC will enhance Root’s capabilities and improve it so it can better serve Canada’s agriculture and food industries.
The partnership will connect Root to relevant data sources and support testing efforts, so the tool continues to meet the changing needs of Canadian producers.
Root is intended to bridge gaps in extension services by delivering accessible guidance to producers within requiring complex data inputs. The tool will translate decades of research, field experience and practices, into advice producers can use immediately. Root will simplify decision-making, accelerate productivity, reduce trial and error, and empower Canadian producers to adopt better practices with less risk, using their smart phones.
Future additions of Root could offer additional functions to support producers, as well as agri-food and agribusiness operations. There’s no sign-up or registration required.
