FP/CP say Nutrien hears cropland under growing pressure

2023-06-09 07:52 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Friday, June 9, edition that Canada's agricultural land is under increasing pressure to produce more food as demand grows domestically and internationally, while the industry grapples with limited resources and environmental constraints, a new report found. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that Canadian Agri-food Policy Institute director Tyler McCann says, "We need to grow more food on less land and in a volatile climate." Despite Canada being a big country, Mr. McCann says it does not have as much agricultural land as people might think. The report notes that agricultural land makes up only around 7 per cent of the country. Because of that, he says we cannot take what we do have for granted. Canada is a major producer and net exporter of agriculture and agri-food products, the report said, exporting $91-billion in products in 2022, and one of the top 10 exporters of wheat, canola, pulses, pork and beef. The report recommends Canada adopt policies that provide financial incentives and technical assistance to farmers and develop regulatory frameworks promoting sustainable land use, as well as promoting education and awareness campaigns.
