Report warns Trudeau’s radical climate policies will devastate Canada’s food supplies
by
(LifeSiteNews) – Two Canadian farming industry groups have warned that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s goal of cutting fertilizer use by 30 percent would cause food production costs to skyrocket.
“Fertilizer is one of the most important inputs for crops grown around the world. Farmers rely on nitrogen-based fertilizers to increase the amount of food they grow, putting food on tables across Canada and beyond,” reads the report. “Canada will have to balance the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer application against farm profitability, economic growth, and global food security. There is no free lunch in food production.”
The analysis concludes that farmers in Canada could only manage a 14 percent reduction in fertilizer use without impacting the nation’s food supplies.
However, a 30 percent reduction is not “realistically achievable” without severely impacting productivity and profitably.
“The challenge of reducing emissions from fertilizers to 30% below 2020 levels by 2030 is immense,” reads the executive summary of the report. “There are very few growing seasons between now and then and reaching 30% is not realistically achievable without imposing significant costs on Canada’s crop producers and potentially damaging the financial health of Canada’s crop production sector.”
Since taking office in 2015, Trudeau has pushed the radical environmental agenda also being promoted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as part of its “Great Reset” agenda. The Great Reset is a militant plan created by global elites that “seeks to ‘push the reset button’ on the global economy” and also to create a new world order with aspects of the Chinese Social Credit System.
