Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announce $12 million in funding for crop research

Regina, Saskatchewan – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced more than $12 million in funding for 44 crop-related research projects through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) and the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI).

 

The SRI is a new program starting this year with the goal of providing targeted funding to advance strategic priorities within the industry.  Projects are expected to go beyond the scope and scale of work normally undertaken in ADF, pursuing innovative research that will address complex challenges facing the industry. This year’s funding has been awarded to a project that will increase the quantity and quality of protein in the smooth yellow pea while advancing crop breeding technologies.
