34 to 1. That's the return @southern_seed0 Jake Ayre puts on public plant breeding.

In his opinion, no other investments comes close.
Winter wheat, once wrecked devastated by fusarium, now out-yields the old checks and resists the offers disease resistance. Stop investing though, and that progress stops halts.

🐝 What can honeybees teach us about leadership? After attending @PSHoneyGirl 's @TEDxWinnipeg talk for @SeedWorldCAN, the lessons hives offer on adaptability, teamwork, and resilience jumped out at me. There's a lot we can learn from nature! https://t.co/RhmlhHbzFM

You can learn a lot about a processing plant by watching the operators, says Jason Zondervan of @snobelengrain. When equipment runs smoothly, teams start focusing on what matters: quality, consistency, and growth.

This story shows how one upgrade with the help of @NexeedInc led to big things. https://t.co/n7DOdKS6IV

In Canada, cereal variety filings for PBR — both public and private — have dropped for three years straight. Fewer varieties registered means fewer options for farmers.

Anthony Parker, Commissioner of Plant Breeders' Rights, breaks down why in Season 2: Episode 3 of On The Brink.

[Seed World Canada @SeedWorldCAN]

Canada’s future in wheat innovation depends on sustainable investment in breeding, according to @canterraseeds. Fewer PBR applications = fewer new varieties and less R&D. Tools like VUAs can help connect farmer success with future innovation. https://t.co/uG1htEKmYj

Busy doesn’t always mean aligned.
Planning creates motion.
Strategy creates momentum.
Without a shared strategy, even high-performing teams can pull in different directions.

As Canada talks about sovereignty, cuts to public plant breeding continue.

Cribit Seeds co-owner Quentin Martin says the consequences are clear: fewer locally adapted varieties and weaker food security.

Canada's plant breeding sector is at a defining moment.

We've spent the last 9 episodes travelling coast to coast, talking to the people who have the most at stake.

Now it's time to ask the harder questions.

What does a made-in-Canada answer actually look like for our seed industry?

Welcome to On The Brink, Season 2.

90% of Canada's cereals, pulses, and small crops come from independent seed businesses. Not multinationals.

These independent businesses support 3,000+ rural jobs and contribute $1.7B to our GDP — and they all depend on public plant breeding to thrive.

Now, that investment is under pressure. @justin_r_funk joined us to explain. #onthebrink
