Duly noted, but to be clear everything about #farmsforchange2021 was ELECTRIC. Thanks Brent and Gil @TheNewFarm for bringing together climate, food + economic justice under one barn + many beautiful fields. @aplaceforfood is always proud to be part of this special fundraiser.
#DYK the #EU spends 73x more than Canada on agri-environmental programs/acre? 😲
Yeah, that doesn't make sense to us either.
Tomorrow, on #CdnAgDay we're launching recommendations to ensure farmers are properly supported to take #ClimateAction.
🎉@mclaudebibeau's new mandate commits to supporting farmers and ranchers in ⬇️emissions and ⬆️resilience on farms! We look forward to collaborating with @AAFC_Canada in implementing this commitment.

The EU invests $51 per acre on climate & environment programs for agriculture.
The US invests $8/acre.
Canada? 70 cents/acre.
Let's close the gap with the next #CdnAgPartnership! 🇨🇦
#CndAg@mclaudebibeau
The US invests 12X more per acre on climate + enviro in ag than 🇨🇦.
The EU invests 73X more.
It’s time to invest in #CndAg to help farmers ⬇️ emissions and ⬆️ resilience.
Let’s close the gap with the next CAP! #AgFPT20#CdnAgPartnership
Canada plans to exceed its 2030 climate goals and recognizes us—farmers & ranchers—as key partners in this fight 🙌
We're thrilled to see the government commit to supporting our efforts to ⬇ emissions & ⬆ resilience.
Let's do this!
