EXAMPLE
For nearly 50 years, the Crop Development Centre (CDC) has remained dedicated to crop diversification. By developing over 450 varieties of 35 different kinds of crops, we significantly shape Western Canada’s field crop pre-eminence.
Providing economic benefits to Western Canadian agriculture, the CDC applies science and technology to create superior crop varieties through exemplary public, private and producer partnerships.
Our researchers develop safe and nutritious crops like pulses, cereals and oilseeds suited for the demands of our growing world and its changing environments.
