Saskatoon, Canada Nuseed Canada Full time

Here in Saskatoon, Nuseed specializes in the growth and production of Brassica carinata, and Brassica napus. Brassica Carinata is a non-food crop that offers a solution to the growing problem of providing a clean source of feedstock to the biofuels industry. It is sustainably produced without diverting food production and it allows farmers to contribute to their country's energy security. For our Brassica Napus program we're combining our leading agronomic traits with strategic global R&D collaborations to bring North American canola growers what we've been bringing Australian growers for over a decade - high yielding, profitable canola seed backed by Nuseed.
