Webinar: Sustainability advances in Saskatchewan agriculture

Innovation plays a fundamental role in the advancement of all sectors of the economy and agriculture is no exception. Genomic innovations from genetically modified crops and increased chemical and fertilizer use efficiencies from equipment are two leading drivers of increasingly sustainable crop and food production. Innovations over the past 30 years have resulted in the removal of over 95% of summerfallow acres in the province. This presentation will draw on farm level data to quantify the sustainability advances in Saskatchewan agriculture.

This free online webinar will be presented by Dr. Stuart Smyth, Agri-Food Innovation and Sustainability Enhancement Chair at the University of Saskatchewan.
