![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.
