Nurturing Canada’s agricultural future: a call for a long-term vision
The past few years have seen an unprecedented surge in the prices of essential agricultural inputs, including fuel, fertilizer, feed, machinery, pesticides, land, and labour. This surge has placed tremendous pressure on the shoulders of farmers and stakeholders across the agri-food value chain.
On the future of agriculture and agri-food
We’re lagging far behind when it comes to investment in research and development, in both agriculture and agri-food.
We have the power to shape a food system for both people and the planet
We are facing interdependent challenges that call for a shift in our agri-food system. And there is one way forward: the One Health way.
We need to get better at putting data to work for Canadians, and ensuring policy intent matches outcomes
Better use of data is essential to meeting Canadians’ expectations of the government and delivering strong outcomes for individuals, families, communities, and the economy.
Energy
Carbon capture and hydrogen: a Canadian power couple
We possess well-developed advantages to help underpin growth in the hydrogen industry, such as our water, low-emission electricity, natural gas, CCUS, and extensive energy transportation systems.
Cleaning and greening Canada’s energy sector
An accelerated transformation to clean, renewably sourced energy is fundamental to our sustainable future.
Innovation in the energy space requires chaotic thinking and an appetite for risk
Focusing solely on capitalism for corporations that have been hyper-focused on self-serving profits is costing Canadians dearly.
To accelerate a transition to low-emissions electricity, Canada should look to governance innovation
Governance innovation and community involvement are often overlooked as methods to bring together different actors to provide both social acceptance and investment in electricity infrastructure.
Navigating the future: Canada’s economic imperative in the net-zero transition
Transforming our energy systems to net zero is as much about economic survival and competitiveness as it is about environmental responsibility.
