Friday, February 17, 2012: 1:30 PM
Room 121 (VCC West Building)
Peter W.B. Phillips , University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
Facing immiserising growth based on a primarily agricultural and resource economy, Saskatoon has pursed a range of strategies to exploit traded and untraded interdependences and to attract and motivate creative individuals. As a result, the small, regional, Great Plains city has carved out a niche role in the global agro-food sector, assembling world-scale research that has produced world-first innovations in the grains, oilseeds and pulse sectors. This presentation will critically assess the strategies and their impacts.
