FCC AgriSuccess Special edition 2017
This document discusses shifting crop acreage trends in Canada over the past 150 years. Canola has surpassed wheat as the top crop, occupying over 20 million acres annually due to strong global demand and a robust domestic crushing industry. Pulse crops are also gaining acres rapidly to meet demand from India and China, with Canada now the top global exporter. Soybeans and corn are expanding westward in Canada, though some analysts question whether farmers will want to compete in those saturated world markets or focus on higher-value specialty crops. In central Canada, corn, soybeans and wheat remain the major field crops, occupying 5-6 million acres, though the region also supports diverse niche crops.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
