As such, these practices continue to become an important part of Canada's sustainability strategy. It will be critical to develop recognized and science-based tools to adequately measure carbon sequestration in the soil.
Dairy farmers also participate in a variety of initiatives to help responsibly manage and recycle plastics used on farm. We work with Cleanfarms, a non-profit environmental stewardship organization. DFC is supporting these take-back programs and other local initiatives to help our farmers participate in the circular economy for agricultural plastics.
DFC also supports the further development of these kinds of initiatives in collaboration with government, particularly in more rural and remote areas that do not currently have access.
