Expanding pulse production AND Dealing with drought

Pulse processing in this country is expanding again.   Eat Well Investment Group, which owns Belle Pulses plans to upgrade and expand its production facilities to meet recent demand increases caused by the global food supply chain crisis. Eat Well Chief investment officer Mark Coles says Belle produced approximately 90,000 metric tonnes of protein in 2021 and will be adding up to an additional 15,000 metric tonnes per year of annual production. Coles will talk about the company's expansion plans and its goal to help support the global food industry. The recent drought had many thinking of ways to help livestock through these tough conditions. Two University of Saskatchewan research projects aim to help cows, and forage plants deal with stresses. Dr. Greg Penner will discuss the projects that will look at developing drought and salinity-tolerant forage crops and reducing heat stress in dairy cattle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
