An Investment in Organic Should be Part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan
Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan 2016 – 2020 identifies a number of ways Ontario’s agricultural sector can aid climate change mitigation efforts.
Among the methods listed are many actions that would be supported by a strong investment in Organic Agriculture.
These include efforts to:
- maximize carbon storage from agriculture (Action 52.3),
- adopt low-carbon technologies in the agri-food sector (Action 37.2), and
- increase our understanding of how agricultural lands emit and store carbon (Action 52.2).
This white paper, by OCO’s Communications Lead Laura Northey, explains how a specific and dedicated investment in Organic Agriculture would support these actions.
