Environmental Action

Posted on February 12, 2025
Some say that farmers are reluctant to adopt agri-environmental practices, but the truth seems to tell a different story. According to a recent poll conducted by market research firm Léger on behalf of Farmers for Climate Solutions, farmers and ranchers show strong interest in adopting high-resilience, low-emission practices.

Farmers Are Willing to Take Action

*“Almost 94% of farmers and ranchers see improving soil health as a top priority, while 87% prioritize improving on-farm resilience.”*¹

The study also outlines that a majority of Canadian farmers and ranchers (76%) report being impacted by severe weather events in the past five years, which urges them to take action.

Sara Maranda-Gauvin, Director of Operations at Regeneration Canada, describes the situation as follows: *“In recent years, the farming community clearly demonstrated a willingness to act against climate change and bolster its resilience. It’s clear to everyone that we need to take action.” *
