Radio-Canada: Temps durs pour le canola des Prairies

October 10, 2025 — 

For decades, canola has been the economic engine of the Prairies. But crop yields are declining due to hotter summers. Some producers are turning to corn and soybeans, which tolerate heat better. And researchers are working to develop canola varieties that are more resistant to climate change.

Drs. Michael Eskin and Rob Duncan were interviewed by Radio-Canada for this documentary and article.
