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.

How can public policy encourage adoption & scaling up of low emissions, high resilience practices in #CdnAg? How will this help achieve Canada's #sustainability targets? Join FCS Pres Brent Preston at next week's @CdnAgriFood conference to find out: https://t.co/InPNRnVaJ5
Check out this interview with FCS ED Andrew Rushmere on the @OntarioSheep podcast. He discusses the challenges sheep farmers face adapting to #ClimateChange & opportunities for #CdnAg to adopt practices that increase resilience while decreasing emissions: https://t.co/QF0TbFWSla
Looking forward to @CdnAgriFood’s Canadian Agri-Food in a Sustainable World conference on Oct 2. FCS President Brent Preston will be there to discuss how effective public policy supports #CdnAg's shift to low emissions, high resilience practices: https://t.co/InPNRnUCTx
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.
#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.
