The systems that generate our food, if all inputs are included, represent 25 to 30% of global GHG emissions. The agricultural sector generates 10% of Canada’s GHG emissions, with the majority traceable to beef production and the intensive use of nitrogen fertilizers. Building a more resilient regenerative farming ecosystem will result in a significant increase in ecological goods and services (EGS), including food, water, timber, and services such as water filtration, flood protection, wildlife habitat conservation and GHG sequestration. We can have a more nutritious, lower-carbon food supply and enhance biodiversity, while adding thousands of jobs to local communities. This session details a 30% reduction in agricultural emissions by 2030, and a 50% cut by 2050, through the implementation of existing practices and technologies and an investment equal to 0.1% of annual GDP, per the Build Back Better farming and forests model.
