Join researchers from the University of Saskatchewan, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), and the University of Manitoba as they discuss their funded wheat research projects under the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership. This funded research targets the areas of climate change and the environment, and researchers will share anticipated outcomes of their research and the impact for wheat growers. They will also share how this research contributes to established and ongoing environmental, and climate sensitive work already being done by growers.
