Historic Investment in Canola Research
September 11, 2013| |
The federal government of Canada through Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced an investment of up to $4.2 million in funding, in partnership with a $1.4 million check-off investment by Alberta and Saskatchewan canola producers.
"This unprecedented investment in innovation demonstrates huge confidence in the canola industry," says Canola Council of Canada (CCC) president Patti Miller. "Our industry, including the grower groups, the scientific community and government has worked closely together to ensure that the investment will have maximum impact."
The CCC projects are focused around clear, strategic themes in canola including oil nutrition, meal nutrition, health and integrated pest management, yield and quality optimization, integrated crop management and sustainability of canola production, canola supply surveillance and forecasting, and science cluster technology transfer.
