As you may have heard, last spring Premier Stephen MacNeil announced funding for development of The Nova Scotia Agricultural Sandbox (Read: ). Although it will be managed from the 鲍鱼tv Agricultural Campus, it brings together 鲍鱼tv and Acadia, two universities with campuses connected to rural communities, each with a focus on supporting and growing the agricultural economy of Nova Scotia. The sandbox will be established upon a strong base of successful existing programming and entrepreneurial resources at both universities.
