#Cdnag: It’s time to #ShowYourReceipts. Let’s show policymakers the real impact of the carbon tax on propane and natural gas on your operations. Upload your receipts here:

Merry Christmas from all of us here at ACA!

With low- & no-till practices, Canadian farmers sequester 11 million tonnes of greenhouse gasses annually. As of 2016, 65% of western Canadian farmland was seeded with no till practices. #cdnag @canolacouncil

To advance sustainable agricultural practices and support biodiversity conservation, producers require ongoing investment. Canada should position itself as an agri-innovation hub to encourage investment and support new technologies and innovative solutions. #cdnag #cdnpoli

Cattle producers are doing their part to improve their carbon footprint. In 2011, they used 17% less water, required 29% less breeding stock and produced 15% less greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1981. Find out more here: #cdnag

Farmers play a role in preserving biodiversity and they must be recognized for their efforts. Biodiversity policies could be more effective if farmers are provided opportunities to contribute solutions and are involved in their design and implementation. #cdnag #cdnpoli

Chicken Farmers of Canada are lowering their environmental footprint. In 2017, the organization launched its first life cycle assessment of the Canadian chicken value chain to measure the environmental and social performance of Canadian chicken production. #cdnag

The greenwashing provisions introduced in Bill #C59 are vague & undefined. We encourage the Competition Bureau to develop clear implementation guidance to aid industry compliance & avoid unnecessary lawsuits. #cdnag

Need proof the carbon tax has a real-world effect on farmers and ranchers? We asked producers to #ShowYourReceipts, and those receipts show the carbon tax has major implications for farms, greenhouses and ranches across the country. #cdnpoli #cdnag

Bill #C59 introduced greenwashing provisions that could cast doubt on sustainability claims & foster consumer distrust. Farmers, growers and ranchers have been improving their sustainability practices for decades and their stories deserve to be told. #cdnag #cdnpoli

The Canadian Beef Industry aims to reduce primary production GHG emission intensity by 33% as part of its Canadian Beef Goals 2030. Learn more:

The lack of clarity around the Competition Act’s new greenwashing provisions introduced in Bill #C59 could diminish investment and innovation in Canada. The Competition Bureau must revisit these amendments and establish clear guidance for organizations. #cdnag

The carbon tax hurts Canadian greenhouses' ability to invest in technologies that help them continue to be leaders in the efficient production of food and other agricultural products. In turn, this makes their products more expensive and less competitive. #cdnag #cdnpoli

Les serres canadiennes représentent une part importante des exportations vers le monde entier. La taxe carbone les rend moins concurrentiels par rapport à d’autres pays, ce qui réduit les exportations, les emplois et la prospérité du Canada. #agcdn #policdn

Cattle producers pledge to maintain the 35 million acres of native grassland in the care of beef producers as part of the Canadian Beef Goals 2030. Learn more:

All 2,800 Canadian chicken farmers are certified on the Raised by a Canadian Farmer On-Farm Food Safety Program (OFFSP) and Animal Care Program (ACP). #cdnag #cdnpoli

Nous avons demandé aux producteurs de nous montrer leurs reçus, et ceux-ci montrent que la taxe carbone a des conséquences importantes pour les exploitations agricoles, les serres et les ranchs de tout le pays. #agcdn #policdn

Canadian cattle producers are world class in sustainability! Canada was the first country in the world to have an outcome-based certified sustainable beef program, which is known as the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. #cdnag

En un mois, en 2023, 50 exploitations agricoles de l’échantillon ont payé 329 644 $ en taxe carbone. D’ici 2030, ce chiffre devrait atteindre 894 944 $. #MontrezVosReçus

Over the past 40 years, chicken farmers across Canada have put in a lot of hard work to lower their environmental footprint. #cdnag

En 2023, 50 fermes agricoles de l’échantillon ont payé 329 644 $ en taxe carbone au cours d’un mois. Si on fait le calcul, ce montant total devrait tripler au cours des sept prochaines années pour atteindre 893 944 $ d’ici 2030. #MontrezVosReçus
