Biologists can support the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector through initiatives that promote innovation and competitiveness. Supporting various sectors such as Forage and Beef, and Agri-Ecosystem Resilience, Virology, Food and Non-Food related initiatives. This can include a wide range of projects like investigations, conducting research and data analysis and from end to end of the food production process. Biologists work both in office or remotely and in field and laboratory settings.

As a Research Scientist with AAFC, Dr. Lovemore Nkata Malunga’s responsibility falls within the study of grain quality. His focus is the structural–activity relationship of cereal grain and pulse components with their perceived functional or nutritional properties and how processing affects this relationship. He also investigates the effect of genotype, environment, processing, and their interaction on cereal grain quality traits. His research program addresses the needs of all members of the value chain, from producers, breeders, industry and consumers (farm to fork). Currently, he is able to work in a hybrid arrangement where he can work with various teams virtually in his home office to provide advice and design research study. Occasionally, for tasks that would require him to be more hands-on to work with specialized research equipment, he would work in the Morden Research and Development Centre in Morden, Manitoba
