Soon Jai Park

Plant Sciences

Soon Jai Park (1937 to 2018) was a Canadian federal research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Harrow, Ontario. He was internationally known for his dry bean breeding program that expanded bean production in Canada, taking beans usually grown in Africa, India, Korea, Japan and Brazil and breeding them so they could thrive in Ontario and Western Canada, giving farmers new crops to grow. He developed more than 28 bean varieties during his 25-year career.
