Fertilizer is an essential component in plant growth. There are concerns amongst farmers that a reduction in fertilizer emission would result in decreased yields.
Fertilizer Emissions Reduction
In 2020, Environment and Climate Change Canada released ‘A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy’. This report outlined the government’s target of a 30% reduction in fertilizer emissions below 2020 levels by 2030.
Since the announcement of this voluntary target, government has heard from various organizations emphasizing the challenges in meeting the 30% target.
KAP will continue to engage with Agriculture and Agri-Canada Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada to highlight concerns farmers have regarding this target.
