The Canadian National Wheat Cluster is wrap-around research that informs the future of wheat for climate change and the environment, economic growth and sector resilience.

The Wheat Cluster is aimed at ensuring profitability for producers and support the long term sustainability of wheat production. 

Did you know that wheat cluster research is helping farmers grow grain more sustainably - improving nitrogen-use efficiency and reducing inputs without sacrificing yield? Wheat cluster researchers are advancing genetic tools and better management strategies to help farmers protect crop quality and ROI from the most harmful crop pests. This cluster is a collaboration of funding between farmers, government and industry that encourages strong innovation and expands economic growth for the future of wheat.

Watch the most recent webinar Economic Growth: Improving Canadian Eastern Soft Red and Canadian Eastern Hard Red Winter Wheat Cultivars with Drs. Booker and McElroy. Stay tuned to future reports and more related to the Wheat Cluster, by connecting with us on social media.

Researchers from the University of Guelph and Centre de Recherche Sur Les Grains (CÉROM) discuss their wheat research projects funded under the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership AgriScience Program. This research focuses on advancing Canadian Eastern Soft Red Winter (CESRW) and Canadian Eastern Hard Red Winter (CEHRW) wheat breeding for Eastern Canada.
