The Canadian wheat sector is an economic powerhouse that produces about 4% of the world’s total supply of wheat and durum and accounts for about 13% of total volume of world exports. As global demand for Canadian wheat grows, it is imperative for the Canadian wheat sector to be ready to meet that demand and contribute to global food security, while becoming more resilient to climate change impacts. The Government of Canada recognizes the importance of supporting projects that help produce more food with a smaller environmental footprint.
