Perennia Food and Agriculture

Perennia is Nova Scotia’s food development agency, providing technical and specialized services to the province’s agriculture, seafood, and food and beverage sectors. The organization operates as a provincial development agency and non-profit entity, supporting growth, transformation, product development, commercialization, quality assurance, food safety, and applied research. Its capabilities include agricultural extension and field research, seafood support, product development and commercialization, laboratory testing, quality and food safety services, funding programs, and a commercial pilot plant/mobile bottling offering. Perennia is not a biotech or pharmaceutical developer and does not appear to run a therapeutic pipeline; instead, it serves as an industry support and innovation organization for the agri-food economy in Nova Scotia.
