Feb 12, 2024 | 2:47 PM

The federal government is giving over $11 million to Pulse Canada for research.

The government says in a news release the money, a total of $11,017,979, is for work on reducing nitrogen fertilizer use, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and disease risks, sequestering more carbon and increasing farm profits.

The release also talks about what are described as the government’s expected outcomes.

Those include developing new management practices that lessen the use of fertilizers and fungicides and developing new varieties.

“Canada is a world leader in sustainable pulse production and exportation. These investments in research from the Government of Canada, matched by our sector, will help enhance our resiliency to meet the growing global demand for sustainably grown, high-quality pulses and ingredients while making a positive impact on our environment and economy,” says Pulse Canada chair Kevin Auch in that same release.
