Aquatic and Crop Resource Development: Strategic Agri-Food Genomics Research

Funding Period: 2021-2025

Lead: Paul Wiebe

Total GRDI funding: $14,208,000

The GRDI supports multi-omics research at the Aquatic and Crop Resource Development (ACRD) Research Centre aimed at enhancing productivity through technology development and data informed approaches, supporting plant and product design including tailoring crops important to a range of ecozones across Canada. This includes omics research undertaken as part of the Sustainable Protein Production (SPP) program, which supports the Protein Industries Canada (PIC) global innovation cluster activities and delivers on NRC's commitment to the success of Canada's global innovation clusters, Federal government priorities, and partnerships with industry and other stakeholders. The GRDI also supports strategic research and development initiatives within the research centre including; improving climate resiliency of economically important crops through creating unique material and testing through environmental simulation and modeling. GRDI also supports research focusing on enhancing regional production through Controlled Environment Agriculture systems, encompassing technology and testing infrastructure to evaluate new crops under controlled environmental conditions.
