What can Canada learn from the way other countries fund plant breeding and get research into farmers’ fields? Lauren Benoit spent two years exploring that question as a Nuffield Canada scholar, visiting 11 countries on six continents. She came home with an appreciation for Canada’s agricultural reputation, ideas worth borrowing and a clear message: it’s time to move. In this episode of On The Brink, Lauren shares: • Why Canada needs a breeding system built for its own farmers and breeders. • What Australia’s approach to coordinating grains research could teach us. • Why maintaining Canada’s reputation takes continued investment. • How waiting for the perfect answer could cost growers future yield gains. Growers will pay for breeding one way or another, she says. Either through investment up front, or through the production gains they miss out on later. Canada needs its own solution. That doesn’t mean we can’t steal a few good ideas. This is On The Brink, Season 3: Episode 8 — A New Generation, A New Vision.

Plant breeders have access to more data, AI tools and advanced technologies than ever before. But is keeping up with technology taking valuable time away from breeding? And what happens when the wrong decision means losing the best genetics in a breeding program? In this Seed World interview, Gene-G explores the growing pressure on plant breeders to turn complex genetic data into better breeding decisions, often with limited time and resources. The conversation looks at how specialized technology partners can help smaller and midsized seed companies access advanced breeding tools, compete more effectively and spend more time doing what they do best: breeding better plants. Topics include: AI in plant breeding, genetic data analysis, breeding decisions, technology outsourcing and the challenges facing independent seed companies. #seed #seeds #seeding #seedworld #agriculture #seedtesting #agriculturetechnology #agricultureeducation #agricultureproduct #seedindustry #seedsector #farming #agribusiness 📌 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on the latest in the seed industry!   📌   📌 About Seed World Group (SWG): Seed World Group is a handpicked team of strategists, storytellers and marketers.
