Thank you.
I realize the discussion document on the fertilizer reduction target is available for comment until June 3 of this year, so it's early days. However, there are smaller farms that are really trying to trail-blaze in this area.
We're all fearful of an “Ottawa knows best” approach, but there are farmers who are doing this and leading the way. What recommendations can our committee make to the federal government for how we best support those farmers who are already showing us a path with both reduced inputs and greater yields?
This is the crux of the matter, because climate change is such a huge existential threat to us. How can we best support those small farms that are actually leading the way right here and right now?
