Chelsea Sutherland

Chelsea began working as a Research Assistant with Dr. Smyth’s team in the spring of 2019. In the fall of 2019, she enrolled in the Agricultural Economics Master’s program at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research focused on the environmental and economic benefits associated with GM cropping systems in Canada, and specifically in Saskatchewan. In the summer of 2021, Chelsea completed her M.Sc. You can find more information about her research here.

Now, Chelsea is working on the Crop Rotation Surveys of Prairie grain farmers. These surveys aim to communicate how the environmental sustainability of Prairie grain production has changed over the past 30 years. You can find more information about the surveys here.
