For Farmers, By Farmers: Alberta Canola Delivers

As Alberta Canola gears up for this fall’s Grower Engagement Meetings (GEMs), I would like to share details on the efforts we’ve invested in this past year. Like the farmers we serve, we’d rather work hard than talk about our achievements. However, it’s important you know the work Alberta Canola is doing on your behalf.  Alberta Canola’s mission is to support the long-term success of canola farmers in Alberta. For 35 years, Alberta Canola has steadily evolved to meet the changing needs of canola farmers. Today, the commission’s work revolves around four main priorities:  Research Given ongoing and significant declines in public research investment, grower-funded research is more important than ever. We fund and interface with the canola research community to help growers meet their production challenges, drive innovation, and address critical issues like clubroot management, integrated pest control, on-farm efficiency and sustainability.

Economist Craig Klemmer shares insights on innovation and productivity at Ag Enlightened

Productivity is top of mind in Canadian agriculture, and we are delighted to welcome Craig Klemmer, Manager, Thought Leadership with Farm Credit Canada (FCC) to EMILI’s 2024 Agriculture Enlightened conference to dig into the topic. Klemmer will touch on the state of productivity in Canadian agriculture, how we measure productivity, as well as ways that the industry can improve productivity.  Agtech innovation is an essential piece in unlocking productivity. In fact, Canada is already recognized worldwide as a leader in both AI and agricultural innovation thanks to heavy investments into basic research. According to FCC, agricultural productivity growth has slowed in Canada since 2011. Klemmer will share insights into the importance of unlocking the potential of agtech innovation to boost agriculture productivity, which could potentially add as much as $30 billion in net income over the next decade.  2024 marks EMILI’s fifth year hosting its annual Agriculture Enlightened conference
