Sommaire en anglais
Strawberries are rich in flavour and antioxidants, and British Columbia's climate provides some of the best conditions in the world to produce these delicious, popular berries. As part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's (AAFC) Small Fruit Breeding Program at PARC-Agassiz, researchers are reducing the impact of strawberry farming on the environment by developing improved strawberry varieties with high fruit quality that also show natural resistance to disease and insects and require less chemical spraying.
