The Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives works with rural and northern communities to accelerate the greater prosperity and capacity of agricultural producers, other entrepreneurs, industry and rural and northern communities by providing leadership and a range of information, programs and services in support of vibrant rural and northern communities.

“We selected PCI Geomatics because of its excellent reputation as a world leader in image processing, and it’s broad depth of offerings,” said Lynn Manaigre, Manager – Soil and Landscape Management Section, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives.
