Agriculture Carbon Alliance

We are a national coalition of farm organizations who will work on carbon pricing and providing solutions-oriented feedback to legislators.

Canada’s rich biodiversity isn’t just good for nature—it’s good for the bottom line. Research highlights that beneficial insects, soil organisms, shelterbelts and wetlands all deliver clear economic gains to farmers.

To improve biodiversity across the country Canada should position itself as an agri-innovation hub to encourage investment, support new technologies and innovative solutions. #cdnag

Did you know? The #cdnag sector reduced its intensity of GHG emissions by 50% from 1997 to 2018? Farmers are continually innovating to steward natural resources while feeding Canada and the world.

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

Farmers, growers and ranchers are environmental stewards who adopt new technologies while protecting their profits.

Incentivizing farmers to adopt best management practices (BMPs) goes hand in hand with protecting food security, competitiveness and advancing sustainable outcomes.

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

Farmers, growers and ranchers are part of the solution to advance sustainable agricultural practices and support biodiversity conservation.

Did you know? While emission levels in Canada have remained relatively stable over the past 20 years, the volume of agricultural production has nearly doubled. Farmers are increasing production while focusing on lowering their environmental footprint.

#cdnag

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

Farmers need to be at the table to help shape biodiversity policies. The most effective ecosystem health and best management practices programs include Canadian farmers as stewards of the land.

Canadian pulse farmers lead the world in soil-smart practices: 65% of soils have gained carbon since 1981, and conservation tillage covers 73% of cropland.

ECONOMIC DRIVER: Canada’s primary agriculture industry contributes $32 billion to our gross domestic product, while the entire agri-food industry represents $150 billion and provides 1 in 9 Canadian jobs.

Wetland preservation isn’t only environmental—it’s economical. Maintaining or restoring wetlands in #Saskatchewan enhances flood control, nutrient filtering and biodiversity, benefiting both #Cdnfarmers and society via reduced damage costs and improved water quality.

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

The alliance consists of 16 farm organizations committed to meaningful and collaborative dialogue with the federal govt to ensure a policy environment that maintains farmers' competitiveness, supports their livelihoods, and leverages their critical role as stewards of the land.

Shelterbelts aren’t just scenic—they’re lucrative. Studies across the Prairies found that mature windbreaks boost spring wheat yields by roughly 8%, and alfalfa by 20–25%, while preventing soil erosion and enhancing pest control.

Cattle producers are always striving to improve their environmental footprint. Between 1981 and 2011 farmers produced 15% less greenhouse gases.

Governments must work with farmers, growers and ranchers to create incentives that increase adoption of best management practices (BMPs) that maintain, protect and promote biodiversity #Cdnag

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

Did you know? Across #Alberta alone, wild pollinators contribute a staggering $500 million/year to #canola yields! #Cdnfarmers who maintain natural habitats not only support biodiversity—they enable stronger yield + revenue outcomes.

#CdnAg #SustainableAg

[Agriculture Carbon Alliance @cdnagalliance]

Increased support and investment from government and industry will help farmers advance sustainable agricultural practices and continue to support biodiversity conservation.
