OECD lauds Canada’s low farm subsidies, except supply management
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says Canada’s farm subsidies are among the lowest, but still criticized supply management industries like dairy, poultry and eggs

Precision 4R cuts farm greenhouse gas emissions
Lower areas in your field tend to emit more greenhouse gas, research shows that precision 4R nutrient stewardship practices can help mute the trend

Cutting nitrous oxide emissions without cutting the crop
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer; new research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes

Netherlands ordered by court to slash nitrogen emissions by 2030
A Dutch court ordered the government on Wednesday to drastically cut nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands by 2030, in a ruling that could hurt construction and will pressure farmers to reduce livestock.

World will miss Paris climate target as nitrous oxide rises, report says
N2O emissions are driven primarily by agricultural fertilizer and manure
Failing to curb emissions of nitrous oxide will make it impossible to meet the main goal of the Paris climate agreement to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to the first major global assessment of the pollutant released on Thursday.
MCA urged to help farmers reduce nitrous oxide emissions
Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) could help farmers cut nitrous oxide emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, in the future. MCA members passed a resolution calling on the organization to set up an “ongoing Farmer-to-Farmer Soils and Crops Management educational forum to help farmers implement best management practices aimed to reduce nitrous oxide… released from our soils.”
N2O study a call to action, say advocates
Farmers for Climate Solutions is calling on the federal government to incentivize reducing N2O emissions
Farmers and the federal government must work together to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O), says one advocacy group following the publication of a new study showing global increase in the gas. N2O can ‘gas off’ nitrogen fertilizer applied to fields. “There are many promising ways to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use that are
Fertilizer use fuelling climate-warming nitrous oxide emissions, study says
London | Reuters — Rising use of nitrogen-based fertilizers is driving up global emissions of nitrous oxide, a lesser-known greenhouse gas, complicating efforts to limit climate change, scientists reported in a study on Wednesday. Most of the focus in curbing climate-warming gas emissions has focused on the most abundant, carbon dioxide, and one of the
