Sustainability

At Cereals Canada, our goal is to provide customers with information on how the cereals value chain is meeting
the goals of sustainability. Sustainability is important to our farmers, customers, and consumers—we care about
the environment. 

Committed to clean air, clean water and clean land, Canadian farmers grow some of the most sustainable crops
in the world. Innovations from plant breeding research and techniques, the use of modern farming practices, and science-based regulations help growers and the value chain do more with less while keeping ingredients affordable and looking after the environment.

Everything we grow advances global nourishment. Canada is setting the standard for modern farming practices.

Our farm partners, BC Grain Producers AssociationAlberta GrainsSaskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, Manitoba Crop AllianceGrain Farmers of OntarioProducteurs de grains du Québec and the Atlantic Grains Council are committed to economic sustainability while meeting their commitments to people and the planet. Through modern agriculture practices, these tools help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address climate change and help to build biodiversity.

Clean, Consistent, Quality

Through modern farming practices, Canadian farmers can grow strong wheat varieties, use good farm management practices from planting to harvest and on-farm storage. Canada has a natural advantage when it comes to land, water and climate. Through strong science-based regulation from the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), it sets the high standards for clean, consistent quality grains.

Innovation

Across the country, agriculture continues to make advancements in farming practices and crop production. Led by Cereals Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the National Wheat Research priorities have been developed. Through a unique national collaboration of farmers, federal and provincial governments, public research institutions, exporters and processors, this partnership between public and private sectors are committed to delivering innovation in the wheat sector.

Sustainability

Current farm management practices continue to provide
a better and healthier farming environment than previous generations. Modern practices like conservation tillage (minimum or zero tillage) helps to capture or sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to slow or reverse atmospheric CO2 pollution to mitigate and reverse global warming keeping sustainability at the forefront of farming.
