Research Priorities

Alberta Grains research investments are farmer-focused with the goal of increasing wheat farmers’ profitability. Alberta Grains is focused on supporting research that will improve crop management, reduce input costs and environmental impact, and increase yield and grain quality. 

To help direct specific research projects, Alberta Grains frequently undertakes priority setting exercises. These exercises allow us to hear directly from farmers and the research community what issues they are facing on-farm and what emerging issues they expect to face. 

Alberta Grains' current research priorities focus on breeding, agronomy, soil and environmental research, as well as economics.
