“I’m honoured to be recognized for my contributions in pioneering this new technology, which represents a meaningful step forward in improving crop export processes,” said Singh. “Working alongside colleagues from the University of Guelph and the University of Prince Edward Island, we’re excited to see the project transition from research to real-world application.”
The technology was initially developed for potatoes but was adapted for pulse crops. Singh emphasized the importance of collaboration in the project’s success, noting the contribution of his colleagues and student researchers.
“Congratulations to Dr. Singh on being recognized for his contribution to this advancement that allows growers to test their crops without damaging them,” said Shane Strydhorst chair of Alberta Pulse Growers Commission. “His work will benefit pulse farmers in Alberta and beyond.”
The project exemplifies the power of multi-institutional collaboration and the potential for adopting this technology across small- and medium-sized enterprises in the pulse supply chain, both within Canada and internationally.
