Join the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan on October 31 (Halloween) and explore accelerated breeding strategies that help plant and livestock breeders stay ahead of the curve.

This hybrid seminar will feature researchers from the University of Guelph and Ohio State University discussing accelerated breeding success stories from both the livestock and crop sectors.

The seminar will include both in-person and remote presentations and panels. Those in Saskatoon are encouraged to join the conversation in person at Innovation Place. A hybrid option is available to those who register as online participants.

During the program, GIFS will also provide an update on the FCC Accelerated Breeding Program at GIFS, a collaborative initiative to accelerate innovation in agriculture, driving productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability for Canadian farmers and agri-food stakeholders.
