G20 Agricultural Ministers hold talks

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has had a busy agenda this week. 

Following her visit to the Phillipines she took part in the G20 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting where they discussed what is at stake for the future of agriculture.

"The G-20 meetings provided an important opportunity for Canada to highlight our ability to support global demand and have food security, which is rapidly decreasing as a result of Russia's invasion. It was also an opportunity to promote Canadian agricultural interests regarding trade supply chains and environmental sustainability."

Bibeau also had bilateral meetings with her counterparts from Indonesia, the US, India, the EU and Turkey to discuss growing trade opportunities for Canadian farmers 
and food processors.

Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Video: Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Denitrification is one of the three main pathways for nitrogen loss, but what is it really, and how much nitrogen do we stand to lose?

In this episode, Lyle Cowell is joined by Dr. Erin Daly from the University of Guelph to break down denitrification and the conditions that drive nitrogen loss in the soil. They explore how nitrogen can be lost as nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, what conditions drive losses and when they are most likely to occur.

Erin also shares how CanN2ONet, a national research network, is helping us better understand nitrous oxide emissions across Canada. From field towers that measure emissions to research into regionally tailored best management practices, discover how the network is working to help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency and help reduce nitrogen losses across the country.
