Description

From 2010-2018, the canola industry and AAFC will have jointly invested close to $40 million in two canola research clusters funded under Growing Forward 1 and 2. This investment has been integral in helping the industry meet its goals, and has successfully addressed multiple industry-wide priorities. For more information on the development of the Next Policy Framework, please visit the AAFC website.

The Canola Council of Canada, along with Alberta Canola, SaskCanola and Manitoba Canola Growers Association, are looking to build on this success and propel the industry to the targets set in the strategic plan, 52 by 2025: Keep it Coming. A request for Letters of Intent (LOI) for possible inclusion in a third science cluster is underway.
