DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		Pulses can play an important role in the rotation of organi
 c and conventional farms and become a major contributor to transitioning t
 owards more sustainable diets. In Canada\, the heart of pulse production i
 s by far located in the Prairies. However\, dry bean production is well es
 tablished in southern Ontario\, with equal potential in Quebec.\n\n		The tea
 m at the Pulse Breeding and Genetics Lab is dedicated to breeding new vari
 eties of pulses - dry beans\, chickpeas\, lentils and peas - that are adap
 ted to conventional and organic conditions\, as well as regional environme
 ntal conditions\, including drought and humidity and clay soils. This visi
 t will include briefings at the various trial plots being conducted this s
 eason.\n\n		This open field day is convening members of the food and farming
  community interested in connecting with others in the value chain\, learn
 ing more about how to grow pulse crops effectively and how breeding progra
 ms are organized to deliver new varieties. This activity is open to farmer
 s\, consumers\, chefs\, health and agricultural professionals and processo
 rs.\n\n		Please note that registration is mandatory and that this visit is e
 xclusively outdoors and subject to weather conditions.\n\n		Program :\n\n		8:0
