Agriculture Roundup for Friday June 25, 2021
MELFORT, Sask. – New partnership has been formed to promote inclusion of Indigenous groups in Canadian agriculture.
A national consortium will build a strategy focused on improving diversity.
Led by Indigenous Works, the project is part of the organization’s Luminary Initiative— a six-year program created to advance Indigenous-led research and innovation to generate employment, and improve the wellbeing of Indigenous groups in Canada.
Indigenous Works President and CEO Kelly Lendsay said indigenous people want to expand their national and global businesses to bring economic prosperity, jobs, and well-being to their communities.
