Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance is receiving $5.7 million to develop diverse crop rotation for farmers that will be sustainable.
Growing food in Canada without impacting the environment is the focus of the latest funding announcement from the federal government.
When combined with investments from producers and industry partners, the total contribution is over $10 million. “The research is going to include developing new oat varieties that will meet the demands of processors and consumers, and new short-season soybean varieties,” Longfield said.“Activities will also explore how diverse crop rotations can play a central role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and how better genetics, land management and fertilizer use can improve nitrogen use efficiency to protect the environment.
