The CDC Pulse Program Story…
Our history – raison d’être
Our people, relationships and outputs
Our future – ramping up on relationships and outputs
-
CDC Vision
To be recognized by peers, partners, farmers and agri-industry as the premier field crop breeding organization in western Canada
PresenterPresentation NotesIs the Vision still relevant or have times changed to review the CDC position?Some say private sector wheat breeding means no wheat breeding at the CDC?Can and will the UofS spin off the CDC as private? – not the capital and infrastructure costs - $70 millionAre private and quasi-public sector at odds? Even for something as basis as food?
-
CDC Mission Statement
The Crop Development Centre is a field crop research organization
which seeks to improve economic returns for farmers and the agriculture industry of western Canada
by improving existing crops, creating new uses for traditional crops, and developing new crops
PresenterPresentation NotesNew crops – fababean is not new but small-seeded and low vicine/convicine will be new.New enquiries (e.g., quinoa) still far from reality.Maintenance of existing portfolio is a huge undertaking.
-
The CDC and Pulse Development
Established in 1971 - 45 years old, and going strong, to increase crop diversification
Fully integrated in the Department of Plant Sciences to leverage various scientific disciplines and collaborations
One of the early recruitments is Dr. Al Slinkard He and his future colleagues laid the ground work for
what is now the Canadian pulse industry – market development into Asia, red lentil development, green lentil as dhal in India!
-
Leveraging people with a Vision and Commitment
-
Partnerships
-
Essentials of the Pulse Success in Canada
Institutions working together – government, UofS, growers and the private sector (BASF in lentil)
Sustained investments over the long-term by the partners
UofS release varieties royalty-free to SPG in return for breeding investment – the SPG Variety Release Program facilitates adoption of new varieties
Research networks integrating disciplines – genetics, agronomy, processing and nutrition (CDC Program, PURENet and Pulse Science Cluster)

Genetic gain for competitiveness
PresenterPresentation NotesBreeding, and the resultant genetic gain on the farm, has been partly responsible for Canada’s competitiveness as a producer and supplier of pulses to global markets.The average yield gain is about 2% annually.

The Future - Ramping up Relationships and Outputs… Motivated and experienced long-term technical staff Advances in genomics enhances trait introgression A strong germplasm base that is second to none A growing population in the developing world and
increasing demand for plant protein Potential for value capture in the future could induce
investment from other entities All varieties protected with PBR and PVP (those sold in
the US) The CDC is always open to partnerships!
