The University of Guelph is proud to partner with the Royal Agricultural Virtual Experience Spring Session, presenting four online discussions on agri-food.

Join University of Guelph computer scientists Rozita Dara and Jeff Farber to learn about an internet-based surveillance system that monitors activities related to diseases on social media, sorts through that information, and provides a supplementary source of data for our officials. Previously, the team’s work focused on avian influenza, but in response to an immediate need, the researchers have pivoted to extend their framework to foodborne illnesses.
