Ottawa-Governments need to be aware of reckless theories about agricultural practices that do not recognize improvements already made by farmers, says former Conservative cabinet minister Ted Menzies.
“They claim we would all be better off growing less food and using less crop protection, but they fail to understand the harm this would cause to the air, water and soil through organic practices that require increased tillage, which causes soil erosion, and organic pesticides, many of which are more harmful to nature than are those approved by certified regulatory bodies. The result is substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions from excess field equipment passes.
“Producers can grow more with less. This is good news for the grower, good for the consumer and good for the environment. Never forget that sustainability has two fundamental components—environmental and economic,” he said.
