RRC Podcast – S2E2 – An Ag Research Update from Lethbridge Polytechnic
byRRC soundbites

Research is fundamentally important to agriculture, and serves as the primary engine for increasing productivity, ensuring global food security, fostering environmental sustainability, and driving economic growth. Without research and innovation, the agricultural sector would struggle to meet the demands of a growing population while facing challenges like climate change and resource scarcity.

On this week’s podcast, RRC’s Craig Lester has a conversation with the senior research chair at Lethbridge Polytechnic, Willemijn Appels. They discuss research projects that got underway last year, and what projects we might expect for the year ahead.
