President and CEO Michael Bourque moderated a panel exploring what it will take to position Canada as a global agri-food superpower at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture Annual General Meeting in Halifax this week.
The discussion reinforced that Canada has no shortage of potential. We have the natural resources, expertise, innovation and people to lead. The challenge is ensuring our policy environment keeps pace with our ambition.
When asked what Canada must overcome to become a global agri-food superpower, the response was clear: it's all of the above. Regulatory burden, fragmentation across the agri-food value chain, and barriers to commercializing research and innovation were recognized as interconnected challenges that require coordinated solutions. Unlocking Canada’s full potential will take a shared commitment to strengthening competitiveness, attracting investment and creating the conditions for innovation to thrive.
Canada has everything it takes to help feed a growing world. Now is the time to build the policy environment that enables our entire agri-food sector to grow, compete and lead.
Fertilizer Canada’s Susan Adler, Manager of Member Services, and Sean Ludzki, Senior Policy Analyst, Environment and Climate, are attending the Southwestern Fertilizer Conference in New Orleans this week as the event celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Stop by the Fertilizer Canada booth to meet the team, learn more about the services and resources available to members, and hear about our latest work on behalf of Canada’s fertilizer industry.
We're looking forward to seeing our members, reconnecting with industry colleagues, and making the most of another great conference.
Fertilizer Canada’s Director of Government Affairs, Matthew Don Trapp, visited a Federated Co-operatives Limited anhydrous ammonia retail location in Saskatchewan last week to connect with the people and operations that support the safe and secure distribution of fertilizer across Canada.
The visit highlighted the rigorous safety and security practices embedded throughout the distribution network. As administrator of the industry’s Anhydrous Ammonia Code of Practice, Fertilizer Canada works with agri-retailers to support consistent standards for the safe storage, handling, and distribution of anhydrous ammonia.
Seeing these practices firsthand reinforced that safety is part of how the industry operates every day, guiding the people, processes, and procedures that support the secure movement of anhydrous ammonia.
Thank you to Federated Co-operatives Limited for hosting us!
