Sustainability

Supporting sustainability

Our global community is facing some enormous challenges: climate change, severe weather conditions, water scarcity, increasing global populations, all while the amount of arable land available for agriculture remains the same. Plant science is helping to safeguard our planet by preserving biodiversity, tackling climate change and addressing food security issues in Canada and around the world.

Plant science innovations contribute to sustainable agriculture, managing urban, commercial and industrial green spaces, and ensuring noxious weeds don’t become problematic.

The agricultural sector is actively contributing to Canada’s environmental sustainability by protecting our biodiversity and ensuring clean air, soil and water.
