Farmers Business Network

• Farmers Business Network has 25 million

acres contracted across Canada and the US

• F2F Genetic Network
• Input Wholesaler

Current Certification Process (Seed Cert 1)

Application Inspection Certification

‘Black Box’ Part of CSGA’s Existing SeedCert System & Data Holdings

Future Certification Process

Application Inspection Certification Processing Tagging

Creating an End-to-End Streamlined & User Friendly Certification Process

All Facilities/Services Available in One (Virtual) Place – reducing transactions costs and increasing system responsiveness and utility (usefulness).

• Controlled Access based on user profile (Breeder, Seed Grower,

Company, RSE, etc.)

• Integrates information such as:
• Variety Specific Information (Descriptions, Production Figures,

Royalty Information, Regulatory Approvals)

• Forms, Applications, Standards, Regulations etc.
• Supporting Documentation and Test Results (Purity, Germination,

Hybridity, Phytosanitary Certificates, etc.)

SeedCert 2– Single Window Platform

How Do We Get There?

• Electronic Crop Certificates
• Electronic Pedigreed Seed Declaration
• Digitized Record Keeping
• Integrated Record Keeping and File Storage

In parallel – Testing Blockchain Potential For Seed in Pilot Projects

• Currently exploring private business blockchain

networks.

• Testing small scale blockchains that require the use of

Certified seed as starting point (IP Soybeans)

• Incorporate smart contracts that are variety specific
• Value Capture/Royalty Collection mechanism to ensure

resources are returned to Breeders and Seed Growers.

Seed Synergy Decision Time

25

Seed Synergy

26

December 1, 2018 - CSGA preliminary Board Endorsement December 2018 to February 2019 –Member Consultations March 2019 – CSGA and Provincial Board Endorsement Decision

Seed Synergy White Paper

White Paper – The Substance

Convergence on six major ideas:

Stimulating Innovation

• 1. Improved delivery of regulatory scheme for plant breeding innovation
• 2. Seed variety use agreement (trailing royalty) for IP-protected seed

Modernizing the Seed Regulatory Framework

• 3. Amend the Seeds Regulations to allow for incorporation by reference and other changes
• 4. Delegate authority for the seed certification program to a consolidated industry body
• 5. Create a single window for all seed regulatory services

Building the Next Generation Seed Organization

• 6. Create a more efficient and effective industry organizational model

27

Seed Synergy Value Proposition

• Better Access to new traits and varieties

Multiplied By

• Better Return on Investment for Breeders

Multiplied By

• More Efficient and Effective Regulatory Program

Design and Delivery Multiplied By

• Consolidated Delivery

Equals

• Seed Synergy > Sum of the parts

28

Seed Synergy Implications for CSGA

• Consolidation of seed certification functions within a

single regulatory service window (CSGA-CFIA-CSI).

• Aligning Seed Grower Voice across Provincial and

National Associations.

• Transitioning Multiple Seed Grower Voices to Aligned

National Seed Voice

• Including possibility of Provincial Seed Grower

Associations Becoming Seed Associations

29

Building the Next Generation Seed Organization

• Agreement-in-principle to explore a potential

merger

• Governance Committee set up to manage the

process (In Transition)

• CSGA Merger Diagnostic Conclusions

– Confirm Value Drivers and Alignment – Confirm Objectives, Time Lines, Resources $$$ – Establish Merger Transition Teams (Internal-External)

30

Membership Structure - Recommendation

• Multiple class model:

– Where a Seed Specific Business (including Seed Farms) is the core sustaining membership class – With other classes/categories around the core class for Seed (Farm) Business linked individuals; including contributing family member & employee seed professionals – With other classes/categories around the core for other related seed industry service businesses (ex. ASCIS, Seed Labs) and other professional categories (ex. plant breeders, LSCI, analysts, operators, graders etc.)

31

2018 Program Updates

32

Five Key Result Areas of the Strategic Plan

• 1. Trusted, High Performing Seed System
• 2. Supporting Members
• 3. Sector Growth
• 4. Partnerships
• 5. Organizational Efficiency & Effectiveness

Circular 6 Modernization – Phase One Complete

• First step was to form six crop specific working groups: Cereals;

Pulses; Soybeans; Canola; Forages; Hemp

• Addressed less difficult issues with approx. 30 changes

implemented in 2018

• Changes included requirements for: land use; isolation; weeds;

maximum impurity standards; and timing and number of inspections

Circular 6 Modernization

36

Circular 6 Modernization – Phase Two

• Phase 2 began in March 2018
• Sections 0 & 1 are being updated; mostly “housekeeping” to

recognize ASD & electronic forms and processes

• Addition of Section 2A and 12A to establish standards for

hybrid wheat

• proposed revisions to Sections 4, 5, 10, 11 & 13 for the 2019

season

• Others
