An organization representing more than 20,000 farmers across the country is urging the federal government to follow a key takeaway from a report it recently published on Canada’s shortcomings in agro-environmental policy by using next week’s budget to dish out funding for farming practices that tackle greenhouse-gas emissions (GHGs). The document, released by Farmers for Climate Solutions and co-authored by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, shows the federal government’s policies to reduce emissions in agriculture pale in comparison to those of other countries. As Canada’s farming-related emissions are projected to increase until 2030, the report reveals that the U.S. spends 13 times more per farm acre than Canada on programs supporting environmentally friendly agriculture. The European Union spends 73 times more per farm acre on such programs than Canada.
