Title Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Agronomy Research

Description There are many researchers in Canadian agronomy and other agriculture­related research areas who originates outside
of this countr y such as Latin America, Africa and A sia. Many individuals have experienced systemic barriers that have hin­
dered their full inclusion and equity both in Academia and Industry. It is particularly difficult for early career researchers to
fight these ‘old habits’ as that are deeply rooted in people’s perception and research institutions customs. In this workshop
we will have a group of panelists who will share their experiences in navigating and succeeding in equity, diversity and
inclusion. The y will help us find the best practices when it comes to eliminating barriers of various kinds.
