We believe that the Summer Researcher role would be an ideal fit for a number of academic fields. Students would gain substantial direct experience in research processes for a novel crop, but also in research methodology. Students from a general sciences background, would gain experience in applied science and applied research. The analysis of measured and observed data from the field, in uncontrollable environments – with weather and disease etc. – would showcase the challenges of field research. In addition, students from a business studies background might find the first-hand experience in the development of a new industry enlightening. We are attempting to introduce a new high-value crop into Ontario agriculture, which would be of interest to business and economics students.
