The transformation of WCI into a not-for-profit organization marks a significant milestone for Alberta’s agriculture sector. “It’s been a busy year,” Conrad said, reflecting on the shift. “We’ve transitioned new directors—talented Albertans with deep credibility in agriculture and variety breeding. Now, we’re polishing a new business plan that incorporates a different business model. It’s not radical, but it is new.” This new model emphasizes collaboration, integrating public investment with industry and academic i
