AAFC research cuts have put new pressure on Canada’s plant breeding pipeline — especially in Western Canada, where crop innovation is essential to competitiveness, diversification, and long-term resilience.
This webinar convenes leaders from across the seed and crop development system to ask a simple question: If we could design the ideal plant breeding model for Western Canada today, what would it look like?
If Canada wants to remain globally competitive, plant breeding can’t be treated as optional infrastructure. This session is a timely conversation about what needs to change — and what could be built.
Attendees can expect to learn:
- How AAFC research cuts are impacting plant breeding in Western Canada
- What an “ideal world” plant breeding system could look like today
- Why a producer-driven, not-for-profit model is gaining attention
- How plant breeding can be funded sustainably for the long term
- What needs to change to keep Canada globally competitive in crop innovation
