The report, commissioned by Fertilizer Canada and the Canola Council of Canada, examines what effect a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers on Canadian farms would have on crop yields and farm financial viability.
Ottawa first established its 30 per cent target for fertilizer emissions reduction in late 2020, as part of the federal government's overall climate change plan, and recently wrapped up a months-long consultation process on it. Still, farmers have warned the goal is too ambitious, especially at a time when Canada's agriculture industry is being asked to produce more to help address global food security fears.
Proud said that going beyond a 14 per cent reduction by 2030 would be economically unviable, since many of the changes required -- such as working with a certified crop adviser, or doing soil testing -- are costly for the farmer. Canada has set the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. According to the federal government, the agriculture sector has generated approximately 10 per cent of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions annually since 1990.
Scarcely = dependency = control. This why the globalists are targeting the energy supply and the food chain.
The targets are not unrealistic if drastically reduced food production is either acceptable or intentional.
Yes, that's right. We prefer not to starve.
“The government has said its 30 per cent target is a goal, not a mandatory enforceable target.” Come on now! We all know what eventually happens when the Libs really, REALLY want something & say that something is voluntary & not mandatory. 😉
