In the quickly developing area of sustainability
and food, retailers are trying to communicate the sustainability of their
products to their customers. CCGA is working to ensure that the evolving systems reflect Canada's agronomic
systems and acknowledge farmers for their sustainability production advances.
CCGA is a participant in the Canadian Keystone Sustainability Project, which researched and
measured on-farm environmental indicators such as soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use. View report here. |

On-farm tools for measuring individual crop
or a whole farm environmental performance are being evaluated. These tools can be useful in helping farmers to benchmark their sustainability footprint. One example is the Cool
Farm Tool developed by Unilever. |
