Making Agriculture’s Case In Cap And Trade System

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is gathering information to use in discussions with the province about a Cap and Trade system to reduce carbon emissions.

Some of that information is in a new report called Enabling Offsets At Scale In Ontario’s Agricultural Sector.

The report includes information on essential offset criteria in a Cap and Trade system and on recognizing early actions by farmers to reduce emissions.

OFA President Don McCabe believes the report will help policy makers understand agriculture’s role in providing regulated facilities with the flexibility they need to meet compliance obligations.

McCabe says it also shows how farmers could be encouraged to pursue further emission reductions and on-farm efficiencies under a Cap and Trade system.

The OFA is going to be taking recommendations from this report to the government for consideration as the Ontario Cap and Trade system is developed.
