In our report, we look at this issue from an environmental needs and measures standpoint. Agriculture and Agri-food Canada is bringing forward environmental stewardship programs. This information needs to be disseminated to farmers, and that is always a challenge. The fact remains that sound practices can be adopted in this field.
One thing that we didn't refer to in our presentation but which was included in the report is the opportunity that farmers now have to provide ecological services and protect natural sites located on their farms. That could be beneficial for the environment. We have to look at what type of compensation can be offered to farmers in exchange for this environmental protection. Some countries and even some levels of government in Canada are exploring this possibility, but a lot more needs to be done in this regard.
