Abstract

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 8th International Crop Science Congress (ICSC) that will be held in Saskatoon, Canada from June 21 – 25, 2020. Saskatoon is the agricultural hub of the province of Saskatchewan, which has over 40% of Canada’s agricultural land; on a global scale, this area produces one-third of the canola and durum wheat, two-thirds of the lentils, and significant peas and flax production. Crop research presented at this congress will span from fundamental to field-based work, and will also address recent advances in translating fundamental research discoveries to crop improvement in the field. Under the theme of the 2020 ICSC - Food Security & Safety – Globally, the congress will address how the very multidisciplinary of 21st century crop research is critical to the development of unique, sustainable, agricultural systems having the capacity to support animal and human health, on a global scale, while being mindful of our custodial responsibilities towards the health our planet Earth.
