Agriculture Canada is establishing a fertilizer working group as a result of its recent consultation on fertilizer emissions.
The group will be formed under the Sustainable Agriculture Strategy advisory committee that is consulting until the end of the month on a plan for the sector.
According to a federal government news release, the idea is to strengthen communication between industry and government on fertilizer best practices and identify ways to reduce emissions. It will look at program funding, the adoption of best practices and improving measurement and tracking of emissions.
