The National Farmers Union (NFU) has launched a campaign to Stop the Cuts to Agricultural Research.
The NFU explains: “The agricultural community was shocked to learn Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada plans to close critically important research facilities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, and to end the Organic and Regenerative Research Program, and to terminate 12% of AAFC personnel – 665 researchers, technicians, and support staff whose experience, knowledge and skills are highly specialized. Farm organizations are unanimous in denouncing these cuts.”
