Event Description

The AOCS Pulse Science and Technology Forum is a brand new event offered by the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) in cooperation with the Global Pulse Confederation, Pulse Canada, Protein Industries Canada and the Protein Highway. The inaugural Pulse Forum will be held November 5-7, 2019, in Toronto, Canada.

As the global population continues to grow, the demand for plant proteins will rise, necessitating rapid developments in the science and technology of alternative proteins, including those sourced from pulse crops. Join your colleagues from around the globe to explore the future of pulses and access the latest knowledge on the analysis, nutrition and applications of plant proteins.
Key takeaways will include:

Applications in human health
Labeling, legal requirements and quality control
Marketing nutritional benefits to consumers
Regulatory and economic frameworks required for success
Scientific best practices and analytical methods

Join our email list for up-to-date program information and registration details.

Who should attend?

The AOCS Pulse Science and Technology Forum is designed for researchers, academics and industry professionals working in the research and development of alternative proteins, including:

Ingredient producers
Product manufacturers
Food science laboratories
College and University food science faculty
Pulse crop growers and exporters

As an attendee, you will have access to a global network of knowledge and resources through AOCS. In addition to exploring the latest scientific and technological advancements, attending the Pulse Forum will allow you to connect with your peers who are working to develop and implement new solutions for the application of pulses and plant proteins.

Registration is scheduled to open in May 2019.
Space is limited, so be sure to register early and secure your spot at the inaugural AOCS Pulse Science and Technology Forum.

Is This the Most Underrated Feed Crop in the West?

Low maintenance, high yield, cow-approved — triticale is quickly moving from niche to must-have on cattle operations. Triticale may once have been considered a niche crop, but its value in cattle production is becoming harder to ignore. “The cattle industry has really benefited from this type of crop,” says Len Solick of Solick Seeds. “It’s produced really well, and in drier conditions it’s been a huge bonus.” Part of triticale’s appeal is its versatility. Producers can swath graze it in winter, bale it for feed, or blend it with barley for silage. “We’ve got customers who will put in about two bushels an acre of triticale to one bushel of barley,” Solick says. “That mix goes into a silage pit, and it gives them the right moisture balance because triticale matures later than barley.” Among the varieties Solick Seeds offers, AB Stampeder is his newest. Developed at Western Crop Innovations’ research facility, Solick says the variety has a number of pros. “Palatability for the cow is

CBRC signs agreement with AAFC on barley breeding

The Canadian Barley Research Coalition (CBRC) has announced an investment of $1,148,900 over three years in a Core Barley Breeding Agreement with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The producer-funded investment is expected to support the development of new barley varieties with higher yields, stronger disease resistance, and improved agronomics to ensure the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of Canadian barley. A news release says the Core Barley Breeding Agreement ensures that farmers remain at the forefront of driving research priorities. It adds that by working with AAFC’s world-class researchers, CBRC is helping deliver practical solutions and improved genetics that respond to evolving market and environmental demands. The efforts are expected to support Canada’s position as a global leader in crop development where barley is a vital crop for Canada, supporting the malting, brewing, feed, and food sectors.

Canadian Museum for Human Rights announces new exhibits for 2026, extension for Love in a Dangerous Time

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) today announced the extension of its blockbuster exhibit, Love in a Dangerous Time: Canada’s LGBT Purge, until fall 2026, as well as several new exhibits that are coming soon as a result of the Museum’s plan to renew the content in its core galleries. New content in development for the core galleries for 2026 and beyond includes At the Knees of Our Ancestors, telling the history of Black Canadians from slavery until present day; Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present, recounting the personal experiences of Palestinian Canadians from the Nakba in 1948 until today; and Inclusion for All, a new exhibit about disability rights. “Last year we celebrated 10 years as the national museum for human rights. This year, we are kicking off our plans for our next decade focusing on new content and core gallery renewal,” CMHR CEO Isha Khan said at the Museum’s Annual Public Meeting (APM). “Our mandate is to promote dialogue and a better understand
