SPG is excited to announce a new breeding collaboration with J4 Agri-Science focused on faba beans. Farmers’ greatest production challenges are at the forefront of breeding priorities. Learn more: https://t.co/T4oI3qHPT3
I can’t be the only kid that grew up checking crops and aspiring to find a way to help. Thanks to @AAFC_Canada for having me on their podcast to talk about our dream at J4 Agri-Science.
Variety development in Canada is in trouble. Supporting solutions is vital.
New podcast episode! 🎧🐔
How can plant breeders prepare #CdnAg for the future? #TheFirstSixteen sat down with #GCAggie Dr. François Eudes and Dr. Jodi Souter, a #SaskAg farmer and plant breeder, to learn more!
Dr @JodiSouter answers the question....why don't we have SME private breeders in Canada? Everything is stacked against what should be a desired, supported innovation stream @Seeds_Canada
Last thought from @JodiSouter Think about how your policy will be used 10 years down the road. “It doesn’t have to be done the way it’s always been done.” Let’s not implement policy that will stifle innovation
This is so relevant (from @JodiSouter ) for both new breeding innovation and seeds regulations: “we’ve done it this way for x years” is NOT actually an indicator of a successful process or a process that should be continued for future success
Regulation and innovation frameworks shouldn’t hold back the development of innovation that is just as critical to SME private breeders as it is to multinational developers. @JodiSouter speaks on her learnings traveling the world to study private plant breeding.
@kew12100@CamiDRyan That’s a good strategy — people would definitely pay attention if you started a presentation/class by ripping a phone book in half… next time.
Woah. Sometimes tweets can stop you right in your tracks (scroll). This one did, especially because it came from one of my sheroes.
It was so good to watch you present @CamiDRyan and even nicer to get to see you in person ❤️.
I have “sheroes”. Yes, Sheroes! And @JodiSouter is one of them.
Jodi shared her life and career journey at #awceast2023 and I was so inspired! There is no dust beneath Jodi’s feet - she is busting through walls and glass ceilings!
This is what leadership looks and acts like!
Thank you, Jodi, for being such a great role model for all of us in agriculture!

@miranda_vet@NuffieldFarming That’s good. Our industry is starting to think about an IPM strategy for a pathogen here that we have no controls for: chem, genetic, agronomic. But we know when we get something it’s going to be delicate. It’s interesting to think about it in other systems.
Plant breeders need to be recognized https://t.co/bkkbcUaIlh
There is tremendous potential for plant breeding efforts to help us remain productive in the face of a changing environment. It doesn't come without investment 🤷Breeders need an incentive to innovate.
