Dr. Peter Hicklenton, P.Ag.

I am the national science director responsible for crop production system research with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

My work includes working with research teams across Canada involved in both conventional and organic system research. I hang my hat at the Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre in Kentville Nova Scotia, and I share management responsibilities for that Centre and AAFC's cereal research centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

My most recent research activities have been involved with berry crop physiology, but I have also worked extensively in greenhouse floriculture and vegetable production, and with ornamental nursery crops.

In my spare time, I tend a small raspberry patch, and a few other fruit bushes that produce just about enough income to support some local 'good cause' fundraising!
