Research

Demand for canola continues to increase primarily due to rising public demand for healthy cooking oil. The U.S. Canola Association is committed to expanding domestic production of canola and helping the U.S. become a reliable supplier of one of the world’s healthiest oils and high-quality meal/protein through public research programs, including the:

  • National Canola Research Program, a federally funded, regionally managed competitive grant system that addresses agronomic challenges and opportunities for canola
  • National Sclerotinia Initiative, a consortium of federal and state university scientists working to reduce the threat of sclerotinia, known as “white mold” or “stem rot,” to canola, sunflowers, soybeans, dry edible beans, chickpeas, lentils and dry peas
  • National Canola Research Conference, which brings together public and private researchers, growers and industry representatives every three years to discuss new agronomic and nutrition research
