A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team is partnering with industry groups to establish a “globally unique” facility on campus to develop and test plant-and-insect-derived proteins to replace fishmeal.

Alice McFarlane with Ag Access talks to USask professor Dr. Lynn Weber about the study using Saskatchewan-grown products like peas and fababeans.

Alice McFarlane is the Agriculture Information Director for Pattison Media in Saskatchewan.
