The Saskatoon Research Centre (SRC) is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's network of 19 research centres. The Centre, located in the heart of the Prairie Region in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, conducts research on Prairie crops to support the agri-food industry in western Canada. In addition, it is a major location for research and development in agricultural biotechnology. The Centre is also home to the Plant Gene Resources of Canada and the Canadian Animal Genetic Resources Program, which have national mandates to protect and conserve Canada's national germplasm collections.
The SRC has a principal location on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan and also operates research farms at Scott and Melfort, Saskatchewan. The Melfort Research Farm develops sustainable crop production systems for the black and grey soil zones of the northern prairies. The Scott Research Farm focuses on developing environmental and economic sustainability systems for oilseeds, cereals, pulses and forage crops.
