Saskatchewan agriculture industry benefits from funding for research demonstration projects

Regina, Saskatchewan – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced that 32 Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) projects and 6 Strategic Field Program (SFP) projects received more than $1.4 million in funding in 2024–25 under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP).

The ADOPT program provides funding to assist producer groups and First Nations communities to evaluate and demonstrate new agricultural practices and technologies at the local level. ADOPT focuses on practical, short-term research projects that can be applied by producers soon after completion.

The SFP provides funding for relevant and timely field-level studies to support agriculture producers and processors in Saskatchewan and helps to develop new best practices that reinforce Saskatchewan's global leadership in sustainable agriculture production and expertise.

Several projects will be demonstrated at Agri-ARM (Agriculture-Applied Research Management) sites throughout the province this year for producers to take part in learning first-hand about the new technologies and production practices.

Managing insect pests in wheat isn’t about a single solution. It’s about stacking smart decisions. Breeding has delivered wheat varieties with built-in defenses against major insect pests, giving producers a crucial advantage before the season begins. Although no variety is fully immune, ongoing breeding ensures new varieties carry improved tolerance traits, allowing producers to choose varieties that reduce pest pressure to safeguard both yield and quality.
