Where would we be without agriculture and specific regions described as the "the cereal, bread, salad and fruit bowls" of the world? In an effort to be even more productive PCI Geomatics, software and solutions developer for geospatial imaging applications, will provide technology and training services to support its soil survey projects at 1:20000 and 1:50000 scale of the Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI).

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.

MAFRI will be using PCI Geomatics’ flagship software Geomatica®. With full raster and vector integration and support for over 100 geospatial data formats, Geomatica offers solutions for geomatics processing, while maintaining complete interoperability with outside software packages.  Geomatica version 10.1.3 is currently available and includes updated sensor support, a new SAR Fusion tool, and other significant enhancements.
