Mission Statement

 
   
 
 
 The purpose and goal of the Field Crop Development Centre is:

'The development of cereal crops through breeding, genetic, molecular, physiological and agronomic research with emphasis on high quality feed, fodder, and food crops, for the benefit of a viable and sustainable agri-food industry.'

Our overall goal is to provide the industry with the developmental research and information services that are required to ensure a competitive and profitable agri-food industry in Alberta. This is accomplished by the development of cereal crops through basic and applied research, and by information transfer with emphasis on meeting industry needs in order to take advantage of existing and new market opportunities.
