CSGA Launches Canada’s First Online Seed Learning Platform

The Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) has launched CSGA Learn, Canada’s first online seed learning platform offering education resources for the seed sector.

CSGA Learn offers 10 comprehensive online courses curated to meet the Canadian seed sector’s real learning needs, with each course focusing on a particular aspect of the seed system. Seed sector experts developed the learning materials based on the official Canadian National Occupational Standards for seed production.

To ensure success, seed growers and their teams must be up-to-date on seed production standards, regulations and procedures, and best management practices for Canada’s seed sector. Developed in partnership with the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council, CSGA Learn closes that Canadian seed production learning gap, according to CSGA. CSGA Learn‘s digital approach ensures equal access to seed-specific training across the country, helping seed growers stand out in the modern marketplace.

Caroline Lafontaine, COO at CSGA, said, “Investing in ourselves, our teams, and our seed businesses through continuous professional development is crucial. CSGA Learn provides training options that help fill a void in the Canadian seed sector. CSGA Learn is a step towards ensuring the seed sector is equipped with people with the right skill sets and knowledge required for a next-generation seed system.”
