While evidence may compete with other factors in decision-making, there is a significant benefit having a common set of sustainability metrics, with clearly-defined indicators, for policy development. By establishing a mutually agreed-to “starting point,” the Index could be part of the foundation for the increasingly complex and difficult process of delivering on governments’ vision for Canada being “recognized as a world leader in sustainable agriculture and agri-food production into the future.” Read the Report<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001de4_Pss7wtZB99xmVP1gkIdw1AH94vpOr0toWOl7Z89…> [CAPI bilingual logo-acronym.jpg]<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001de4_Pss7wtZB99xmVP1gkIdw1AH94vpOr0toWOl7Z89…> Translating Science to Policy: Approaches to increase soil carbon sequestration in Canada's croplands - Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute The CAPI Doctoral Fellows are young scholars from across Canada and across disciplines tackling some of agriculture's most critical issues.

CAPI was pleased to have The Honourable Senator Rob Black return to moderate the webinar. Some of the key highlights that CAPI heard from industry and government stakeholders, including some of the limitations of the Index for policy making, are summarized below.<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001de4_Pss7wtZB99xmVP1gkIdw1AH94vpOr0toWOl7Z89…> “For good policies we need good data and evidence,” but “evidence-informed policy making” better reflects evidence’s role than the oft-used “evidence-based policymaking.” To maximize its impact on policy development, the Index should be accompanied with narrative and context that is used consistently by partners. The Index’s role in policy development will be greatly enhanced IF it can identify where improvement is required by measuring performance against international competitors, past performance, other sectors, or agreed-to targets or objectives. There is a need for both high-level, aggregated, national, whole-of-system data and metrics, but more granular indicators reflecting regional, sectoral and commodity-specific details have the potential to improve transparency, credibility and relevance. The Index’s co-development process, with governments and stakeholders working together, has itself been a positive contribution. The work to develop a common understanding of agri-food sustainability has torn down silos, increased collaboration and may have a lasting benefit.

Certains des points saillants que l’ICPA a entendus de la part des intervenants de l’industrie et du gouvernement, y compris certaines des limites de l’Indice pour l’élaboration de politiques, sont résumés ci‑dessous.<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001de4_Pss7wtZB99xmVP1gkIdw1AH94vpOr0toWOl7Z89…> « Pour avoir de bonnes politiques, nous avons besoin de bonnes données et de faits », mais « l’élaboration de politiques informées par des faits » reflète mieux le rôle des faits que l’élaboration de politiques fondées sur des faits souvent utilisée. Pour maximiser son incidence sur l’élaboration des politiques, l’Indice devrait être accompagné d’un texte et d’un contexte qui sont utilisés de façon uniforme par les partenaires. Le rôle de l’Indice dans l’élaboration des politiques sera grandement amélioré SI l’Indice peut déterminer les points à améliorer en mesurant le rendement par rapport aux concurrents internationaux, au rendement antérieur, à d’autres secteurs, ou aux cibles ou objectifs convenus. Il est nécessaire d’avoir des données et des paramètres de haut niveau, agrégés, nationaux et pangouvernementaux, mais des indicateurs plus détaillés qui reflètent les détails régionaux, sectoriels et propres aux produits peuvent améliorer la transparence, la crédibilité et la pertinence. Le processus de codéveloppement de l’Indice, avec la collaboration des gouvernements et des intervenants, a lui-même été une contribution positive. Le travail visant à établir une compréhension commune de la durabilité agroalimentaire a permis d’éliminer les cloisonnements, d’accroître la collaboration et peut avoir un avantage durable.

Whether it is the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, gaps and possibilities with agriculture productivity and trade, or using carbon sequestration in soils to meet climate change targets, agriculture is being called to do more than just produce food. These challenges can only be met if there is a balance between environmental, economic and food security outcomes.

Extensification is the amount of new land brought into production. This essentially extends the land base and therefore the agricultural footprint in the world. Total factor productivity (TFP) is how efficiently the same amount of inputs, including land, is used. It’s like the recipe that mixes together land and all other inputs to get a final product: in short, food. If output only depends on finite inputs (land, labour, and so on), yearly food production would also eventually max out once the inputs are exhausted. However, if the “recipe” can be improved – TFP growth – output capacities can also be extended. Coomes et al. (2019) are hopeful that TFP growth can be environmentally friendly and sustainable. What We're Reading [Jan 2019.png]<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001i6TGkGGNZ-5o4T42wdgnFwPR9GDgkZc9Wtvg32Dk_wl…> Sustainable Productivity Growth<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001i6TGkGGNZ-5o4T42wdgnFwPR9GDgkZc9Wtvg32Dk_wl…> In a statement by G7 countries on the war in Ukraine, Canada reinforced the importance of fostering sustainable food systems through innovation and productivity growth to address food security while also protecting the climate, biodiversity and the environment. In What We are Reading this month, Coomes et al. (2019) argue that productivity growth to boost food production can also benefit the environment. The authors provide a framework for assessing how sources of TFP growth link to sustainable and resilient outcomes at the farm and landscape levels. They conclude more research is needed on the drivers of TFP growth and their implications for the sustainability and resilience of farming systems. This will require more engagement of natural and social scientists to understand farmer behaviour, agricultural and ecological processes and the potential for synergies and trade offs between TFP growth and sustainability and resilience-building outcomes. Policies such as taxes, subsidies and regulations can help pursue the best combinations of technological gains in agriculture and broader societal goals.

Qu'il s'agisse des retombées de l'invasion russe en Ukraine, des lacunes et des possibilités en matière de productivité agricole et de commerce, ou de l'utilisation de la séquestration du carbone dans les sols pour atteindre les objectifs en matière de changement climatique, l'agriculture est appelée à faire plus que simplement produire des aliments. Ces défis ne peuvent être relevés que s'il existe un équilibre entre les résultats environnementaux, économiques et de sécurité alimentaire. Toutefois, cet équilibre nécessite des solutions politiques tout aussi dynamiques et complexes que les défis auxquels le système est confronté...

L'extensification est la quantité de nouvelles terres mises en production. Dans le fond, l’extensification étend la base de terres et donc l'empreinte agricole dans le monde. La productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) est l'efficacité avec laquelle la même quantité d'intrants, y compris la terre, est utilisée. C'est comme la recette qui mélange la terre et tous les autres intrants pour obtenir un produit final : en bref, des produits alimentaires. Si la production ne dépend que d'intrants finis (terre, main-d'œuvre, et cetera), la production alimentaire annuelle finira également par atteindre son maximum une fois les intrants épuisés. Toutefois, si la « recette » peut être améliorée - une croissance de la PTF - les capacités de production peuvent également être étendues. Coomes et al. (2019) suggèrent que la croissance de la PTF peut être respectueuse de l'environnement et durable.

Dans Nos lectures ce mois-ci, Coomes et al. (2019) affirment que la croissance de la productivité pour stimuler la production alimentaire peut également être bénéfique pour l'environnement. Les auteurs fournissent un cadre permettant d'évaluer comment les sources de croissance de la PTF sont liées aux résultats durables et résilients au niveau de l'exploitation et du paysage. Ils concluent que des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires sur les moteurs de la croissance de la PTF et leurs implications pour la durabilité et la résilience des systèmes agricoles. Cela nécessitera un engagement accru des spécialistes des sciences naturelles et sociales pour comprendre le comportement des agriculteurs, les processus agricoles et écologiques et le potentiel de synergies et de compromis entre la croissance de la PTF et les résultats en matière de durabilité et de résilience. Les politiques telles que les taxes, les subventions et les réglementations peuvent aider à trouver les meilleures combinaisons entre les gains technologiques dans l'agriculture et les objectifs sociétaux plus larges.

CAPI believes that to ensure the world has sustainable and continual access to food, we must look ahead. Today’s young leaders, as well as future generations, play a critical role in helping Canada’s agri-food system realize its great potential. One way that CAPI does this is through the Doctoral Fellowship Program. CAPI Doctoral Fellows are young scholars from across Canada and across disciplines tackling some of agriculture’s most critical issues. Our current cohort (2020-2022) are investigating the issue of soil health in agricultural soils.

Their report argues that to elevate policy's role in increasing carbon sequestration in Canadian cropland, a science-based, systems approach to policy design should be considered. This multidisciplinary research in the field of sustainability and resilience in agricultural soils contributes to some of the critical conversations CAPI is having regarding the sustainable prosperity of Canadian agriculture.

by James De Castro 27 May '22

27 May '22

To all plant science graduate students, The field season is upon us and PSGSA has provided water & Gatorade bottles, as well as snacks, sunscreen, and insect spray, and kept them in the grad lounge. Please note that these items are intended for use by students working at the Point, CTC, and Ag. building greenhouse, however we do recommend still bringing your own supplies. The water and drinks in the lounge are extra or back-up if you are working at the mentioned locations for longer periods or have forgotten to bring your own. Sunscreen and insect spray are shared items and we expect them to stay in the lounge after use. We want to extend these supplies until the end of the field season and only for people who need it the most, so please only use them when absolutely needed. Thank you for cooperation, PSGSA Team

FW: Postdoctoral Researcher Opportunity - Scientific Researcher (SE-RES)
by Martha Blouw 24 May '22

24 May '22

From: Henriquez, Maria Antonia <mariaantonia.henriquez(a)AGR.GC.CA> Sent: Friday, May 20, 2022 7:40 PM Subject: Postdoctoral Researcher Opportunity - Scientific Researcher (SE-RES) Importance: High Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Hi everybody, I have a Postdoctoral Researcher position in my program. I would appreciate if you could share this Job opportunity. Postdoctoral Researcher - Scientific Researcher (SE-RES) : My program is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher, starting in October 2022. The candidate will be hired under the Postdoctoral Research Program (PRP) as Scientific Researcher (SE-RES). Salary Range: $58,563 to $113,877. This is a full-time job for a contract of 2.5 years (subject to a potential one-year extension). Application Process: Applicants should apply to the PRP program (see link below) and send me an email with his/her CV. PRP Link : https://nrcan-rncan.hiringplatform.ca/questionnaires/20673-applications/peo… Deadline to apply: June 5, 2022 Background: Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in improving Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance and disease management, but it has proven much more difficult than other diseases. In fact, only a registered single bread wheat variety (AAC Tenacious) is rated as resistant. The slow progress of developing resistant varieties stems from the complex, quantitative expression of resistance, coupled with strong genotype by environment interactions . Also, the poor correlation between FHB incidence and severity with DON content, and the laborious task of phenotyping the disease making selection for enhanced resistance challenging. Furthermore, FHB resistance genes are often linked with undesirable agronomic traits (i.e. plant height, grain protein content) that slows genetic progress. In recent years, the pairing of mutagenesis with next generation sequencing has become an reliable technique for trait improvement and the identification of gene function. The development of the TILLING (targeting induced local lesions in genomes) method has significantly advanced the detection of useful mutations in crops. The role: In this project the candidate will be working with a research team integrating high-end genomics technologies to contribute to the production of a high quality genome of AAC Tenacious, characterization of a Targeting Induced Local Lesions In Genomes (TILLING) population, production of genotypic and phenotypic data of the TILLING population where germplasm and database will be available to all Canadian wheat research programs. This job opportunity requires a highly motivated candidate with experience in Next Generation Sequencing. Experience using R, Linux/Unix and/or Experience in coding languages are desirable. Education: Candidates must have obtained: A doctoral degree (PhD) within the last three (3) years* from a recognized post-secondary institution in a field of natural sciences, bioinformatics, plant science, plant pathology, plant breeding, biology, plant physiology, microbiology, natural resources, genetics, biology or a related discipline.
