ADF research investments will benefit prairie producers

A key research announcement coming out of Saskatchewan will benefit producers across the prairies.

Agriculture Minister David Marit announced a total of $17.6 million in crop-related research in 2023.

Examples of the individual research projects being funded include exploring the diversity of Fusarium root to species infecting pulse crops, insect response to climate change and ag inputs across the prairies, economic salinity remediation strategies for agriculture water using innovative desalinization minerals and a nutritionally balanced pulse-oilseed protein-based beverage. 

Funding is coming through the federal/provincial Agriculture Development Fund, with $4.5 million co-funded by 13 industry partners throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
