Consultations begin agriculture’s environmental sustainability

The federal government is launching consultations that will examine agriculture’s environmental performance.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced the creation of a Sustainable Agriculture Strategy where groups can develop a road map.

“The strategy will pave the way to help us sustain the livelihoods of farmers. Drawing from their expertise and best practices, we can ensure that the sector is more resilient in the face of climate change,” Bibeau said.

The strategy will focus on five priority issues – soil health, climate adaptation and resilience, water, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity.
