- Kyle Jeworski, CEO, Viterra North America
In November 2013, Viterra joined in GIFS’ mission to address the increasing demand for safe, reliable food with a contribution of $2 million. Viterra’s contribution will facilitate farmer participation in research field trials that will help support leading research and innovation for major crops grown in Western Canada and around the world.
Viterra is committed to investing in the future prosperity of both their farm customers and in the sustainability of Western Canadian agriculture. For Viterra, enhanced yield and agronomic improvements for the major crops grown in Western Canada are the benefits they will see as a result of their investment in GIFS. In addition, it will also contribute to a vibrant economy in the province and the University of Saskatchewan as a centre of excellence in plant science research.
