It’s Biotech Week in Saskatchewan.
Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart says our province is a leader in agricultural biotechnology research.
Saskatchewan hosts about a third of Canada’s agricultural bio-science industry with biotechnology focused on a number of areas including genomics, plant-made pharmaceuticals, and industrial bio-products.
Stewart notes Saskatchewan farmers are leaders in agricultural production in part because of advances in biotechnology, which has led to hardier, higher-yielding crops.
