Agriculture and AgriFood Canada says that it
intends to get out of cereal plant breeding and
variety development.
This brings up the question of how to dispose of
genetic material and other intellectual property.
One suggestion is for a government sanctioned or
supported Grain Investment Corporation that
might be more "farmer friendly" than investor
owned companies that some still fear would
engage in "price gouging".
For those who post on this forum, you still have
time to speak out on this issue, rather than after
the fact.
Let's have more suggestions, not just complaints.
For myself, the suggestion would be for AAFC to
dispose of it to investor or farmer owned interests
without picking favourites.
