Cereals Canada supports 'Road to 2050'

Cereals Canada is the latest organization pledging support for the Grain Growers of Canada's 'Road to 2050'.

The GGC says the ‘Road to 2050’ climate solutions initiative will propose a path that focuses on innovation, research, and beneficial management practices that will reduce emissions while feeding a growing world population. 

Mark Walker, Vice President of Markets and Trade with Cereals Canada says we know that Canadian farmers are sustainable.

"We know they do so much good work on their farms every day, but increasingly they're being called upon to demonstrate that work. So to us, supporting the 'Road to 2050' is all about as a value chain organization, helping ensure that farmers' voices are heard in this conversation."

He notes this is also a natural fit with their National Wheat Research Priorities.

Another priority for Cereals Canada is continuing to build our export market.

Walker spoke to us from Japan last week, while attending meetings with customers, as well as regulators.
