Former FCS task force chair Ian McCreary notes how 3 years of droughts led to record crop insurance payouts & higher premiums in #SKag. He describes insurance improvements to encourage adoption of more resilient practices that would reduce premiums. https://t.co/pAOB1uDo2v

#CdnAg needs good public policy informed by discussions featuring farmer and rancher voices, said FCS President Brent Preston at the recent @CdnAgriFood conf. Especially those that are sustainable economically, environmentally, and socially.

FCS is an advising partner on this significant project to further explore links between on-farm climate solutions, quantifiable emissions reductions, and a broad suite of co-benefits. The goal is to find ways to reduce emissions while improving the bottom line for farmers.

[University of Guelph @uofg]

#UofG's Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle is spearheading a national initiative to reduce Nitrous Oxide emissions. With support from NSERC-SSHRC, this new network of leading nitrogen experts is taking bold steps in the fight against climate change.
