Manitoba Institute of Agrologists

The primary role of the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists is to regulate practicing agrologists in Manitoba in the public interest. Under authority of The Agrologists Act of Manitoba, registered professionals share the responsibility of self-governance so that standards of practice and ethical conduct are followed. Registration to practice agrology is required in Manitoba and most other provinces in Canada.

Soil Science: The Center of It All

The Canadian Society of Soil Science (CSSS), Manitoba Soil Science Society (MSSS), and the Canadian Society of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology (CSAFM) are pleased to invite agrologists/agronomists to their Joint Meeting in Winnipeg on July 22-25, 2013.

MIA is pleased to provide sponsorship support for this important national conference and encourages registered and practicing members to attend. There will be credits available for agronomists...and single day registration is an option for those who can’t afford to be out of the field for the entire three days.

Information for the Public: Unauthorized Practice

Practicing Agrology without being registered is called "Unauthorized Practice" in Manitoba. This activity is contrary to "The Agrologists Act (Section 15)". While most companies and their employees are working well with MIA in this area, there are still instances where more information and education is needed. To protect the public, MIA reviews information and complaints about individuals who may be practicing Agrology without being registered.
