About

The Manitoba Crop Diversification Centre (MCDC) was established between the Government of Canada, the Government of Manitoba, and Manitoba Horticulture Productivity Enhancement Centre Inc. (MHPEC) in 1993. The Centre’s mission, in brief, is to facilitate the development and adoption of science-based solutions for agricultural crop production. This is accomplished through the design, development and adaptation of best management practices with a focus on water management, crop diversification and environmental stewardship. Its strategic areas include sustainable irrigation, sustainable potato production, improving the environmental sustainability of intensive crop production, and crop diversification. MCDC’s activities include testing and demonstrating current irrigation technologies and crop performance field tests with and without irrigation; extreme moisture and drought management; forages and crop-livestock systems; and cover crops and regenerative agriculture projects.
