Federal government announces funding for wheat research

Mar 7, 2024 | 6:00 AM

The federal government has announced $11.2 million in funding for the Canadian Wheat Research Coalition.

The coalition includes Alberta Grains plus similar groups in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and helps get funding to national and local research projects.

The government says in a news release that this money is for research into genetic improvements and best management practices to increase crop resilience in the face of new pests and diseases threats brought on by climate change.

There will also be work done on greenhouse gas emissions and plant breeding.

The money is coming from the AgriScience Program – Clusters Component, part of the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
