CSIP Net Zero Carbon Series ~ Decarbonizing Agriculture

Canada has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 which will require deep decarbonization in all sectors, including agriculture. Agriculture is responsible for approximately 10% of Canada’s emissions. This panel explored agriculture and its emissions in Canada and specifically western Canada and what this policy and practice space might look like. Drs. Ymène Fouli, Margot Hurlbert, and Roland Kröebel searched for GHG emissions estimates for Canada’s major agriculture products, and reviewed the global context for these figures. Don't miss this introduction to what we know about the decarbonization of agriculture and what ‘carbon on your plate’ might look like in the future.
