Guelph, ON. – Canadians from coast to coast are invited to celebrate Canada’s Agriculture Day on February 22. Canada’s Agriculture Day is a day designated for our country to come together to recognize and celebrate the men and women who produce the food that Canadians, and people around the globe, love to eat.

On February 22, Canadians are invited to share their passion for food and agriculture on social media by using the official hashtag #CdnAgDay. There are many ways to participate including sharing a meal with loved ones using Canadian ingredients and posting a photo or video highlighting Canadian food and agriculture.

How much skin do independent seed companies have in the game? About $1.7 billion in infrastructure across SeCan’s membership, says General Manager Jeff Reid.

That investment helps get improved varieties into Canadian farmers’ hands. But how can smaller businesses invest more in the breeding behind those varieties without the individual financial resources of the big multinational players?

Jeff’s answer is to invest smarter, together. He joins On The Brink to explain how farmers and independent seed companies can combine resources, build on Canada’s existing breeding programs and support a trusted system for testing and registering new varieties. The goal is better choices for farmers, backed by data they can trust.
