Canadian Barley Research Coalition (CBRC) will provide $1,148,900 over three years in a Core Barley Breeding Agreement with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).
The producer-funded investment will support the development of new barley varieties with higher yields, stronger disease resistance, and improved agronomics.
CBRC Chair Cody Glenn said farmers must drive research priorities and working with AAFC’s world-class researchers, CBRC is helping deliver practical solutions and improved genetics that respond to evolving market and environmental demands.
“Barley farmers across Canada are directly supporting innovation through this investment,” Glenn said. “Improved varieties mean better returns for producers, greater resilience in the face of disease and climate challenges, and a stronger value chain from farm to end-user.
