Sustainability

Saskatchewan producers are the pioneers of agricultural sustainability, with a decades-long focus on soil health, diversified crop rotations, innovative technology and investments in research.

New research demonstrates that Saskatchewan crop production is the most sustainable in the world. Recent research commissioned by the Global Institute for Food Security found that Saskatchewan’s net carbon footprint for crop production is significantly lower than that of competitive jurisdictions.

• The carbon footprint of Saskatchewan-produced canola is 67 per cent lower than competitive jurisdictions. The carbon footprint of Saskatchewan-produced canola is 90 per cent lower than international canola production.
• For durum and non-durum wheat, respectively, Saskatchewan’s carbon footprint is 78 per cent lower and 62 per cent lower than competitive jurisdictions.
• For dry field peas, Saskatchewan's carbon footprint is over 95 per cent lower, and for lentils it is 130 per cent lower than competitive jurisdictions.
