O
pen the dictionary to the definition
of “Agriculture and Biotechnol-
ogy,” and you should find a map of
Saskatchewan.
Next to that should be a list of a vast range
of industries and products that extend
well beyond crops and livestock. Biomedi-
cine, bioproducts, digital technologies,
environmental stewardship, biofortifica-
tion, animal welfare and food security are
just some of the exciting categories in the
realm of agriculture and biotechnology.
SASKATCHEWAN IS THE
PLACE TO BE
It’s nearly impossible to overemphasize
Saskatchewan’s role in advancing the glob-
al agriculture industry. Whether a start-up,
well-established company, or global player,
agriculture businesses have one thing in
common: Saskatchewan is the place to be.
Why is Saskatchewan a leading centre
for agricultural bioscience? With over 100
years of history in agricultural science, Sas-
katchewan enjoys a reputation as a global
leader. Saskatchewan has more than 40
percent of Canada's total cultivated farm-
land—over 60 million acres of agricultural
land.
