More food with fewer emissions a clear challenge for Canada

More food with fewer emissions a clear challenge for CanadaFarmers will need lots of support to reduce GHG emissions. Ottawa—Producing more food with fewer greenhouse gas emissions is the clear challenge facing Canada’s agrifood system, says a thought-provoking report on achieving that goal. Canada is a top supplier of key crops like wheat and canola and a global leader in the export of beef. Every acre of food we grow, and every animal we raise, add to an emissions footprint that is already too big—and that we’ve committed to shrinking. To make it happen, Canada will need to harness cross-sectoral partnerships, research and innovation, policy development and private investment.
