Speaker: Dr. Ron DePauw, Science Advisor, SeCan, Canada
Dr. Ron DePauw is an internationally recognized scientist, who was born in rural Saskatchewan and raised on a farm near Treherne, Manitoba. Ron has devoted his life to reduce business risk for producers, to meet consumers’ requests for safe and nutritious food, to improve end-use suitability factors, and to contribute to an overall betterment of society and the farm economy, including resilience to climate change.
Ron was a member of the Independent Steering Committee to the GLOBAL WHEAT Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research managed by CIMMYT. He serves on the Borlaug Training Foundation Board which collaborates with CIMMYT to train the next generation of hunger fighters.
Wheat is one of the most widely grown crops in Canada and generates $10 to $13 billion of direct farm receipts and additional $15 to $20 billion in value added processing. Ron actively participated in the registration of 70 wheat and six triticale cultivars. For the past 23 years, 40% to 60% of all wheat grown in Canada derived from cultivars that he and the Swift Current Research and Development Centre team developed. Cultivars developed by Ron and his team exemplify the use of environmentally friendly and low input-cost genetic resistance to control a multitude of diseases and insects.
Ron has published 269 peer reviewed manuscripts, 11 book chapters, and over 1000 miscellaneous publications including conference abstracts.
Ron has provided leadership to numerous Government and non-Government committees in Canada and worldwide. He has been invited to review international wheat projects and mentor young international and national wheat researchers.
In 2015, he started his own consulting company, Advancing Wheat Technologies. As science advisor to SeCan Association, his role includes working with breeders, public and private to bring new genetics to the market-place.
From 1970 to 1972, he worked on a wheat breeding project sponsored by Canadian International Development Agency in Kenya, administered by the University of Manitoba. Ron worked for Agriculture and AgriFood Canada for 42 productive years excelling through leadership and innovation in the wheat industry.
He has received numerous awards including the Order of Canada, Saskatchewan Order of Merit, Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee, Gold Medal from the Professional Institute of Canada which has only been awarded seven times to someone in agriculture, and an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Saskatchewan.
