SASKATOON, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 15, 2019--The Diverse Field Crops Cluster (DFCC) will benefit farmers, and ultimately, all of Canada, by increasing the variety of crops that Canadian farmers grow. DFCC is a new agri-science cluster whose purpose is to support the research and development of high-potential emerging crops. DFCC research will be focused on flax, camelina, canaryseed, sunflower, hemp, quinoa and mustard.

The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) announced over $13 million in funding from AAFC through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriScience Program.
