    Pay producers properly and they will grow it.

    Why don't some Industry players vertically integrate and grow what they need themselves.

    What is the definition of sustainability? = farmers growing crops "responsibly"?

    On the other hand, it may, indeed, be something else - not a hook, but another not-so-subtle device for gaining another level of control in ag.

    A device that will start out sounding good, but will eventually show itself for what it really is - a lever for imposing the hypocritical green agenda on all of agriculture.

    How many people are aware to the globalist goal of returning a huge portion of North American farmland to its original state?

    It's called the 'rewilding" effort.

    It is real, and it is easy to research.

    You will not like what you find.

    This is the end game of those who run these pop-up groups.

      You actually sell them short - their critical thinking skills are inclined toward protecting their spot at the table.

      A Churchill type wouldn't have made things comfortable at that table.

      They say he wasn't very big on compromise.

          Rhetoricals can be so much more effective than lengthy explanation...

              On farm.com, article about the CRSC starting consultations about creating what is called “responsible grains”, a brand to be created with a list of standards met by Canadian farmers if they choose to enroll. So yes bucket and burnt it looks like they want to greenwash Canadian agriculture just like A&W or McDonalds is attempting to do. What I find funny about fast food companies green washing is that they are selling hamburger, the cheapest cut of beef ground up from trim. The unfortunate reality is that as a rule these programs simply create more hoops for farmers to jump through with NO financial benefit!

                Quelle surprise!

                Every farm organization that signs onto this is eligible for the Marcus Junius Brutus Award.

                They should instead be denouncing this highly partisan and divisive ploy and setting the record straight on what farmers have done to keep on top of environmental issues.

                And most of all, these groups should be pushing the users hard for better compensation for the efforts made.

                As Farmaholic implied - show me the money.

                But no - these all-powerful multinationals want all the benefit at our expense.

                  All that I see in agriculture lately is the law of diminishing returns....

                  Guys are depressed with a 35 bpa canola crop in a dry year because they know they are losing money....

                    I'm not against a retailer procuring, branding and marketing a product, and calling it sustainable. While the word itself is meaningless, and taken literally, is impossible to achieve, but if consumers are willing to pay a premium for something, then we are oblidged to separate a fool from his or her money. No different than Non GMO, or organic, or countless other marketing ploys currently being foisted on the uneducated consumer. As a producer, I can choose if the premium offered is sufficient to justify jumping through the hoops.

                    Just don't make it a top down mandatory requirement for marketing our products to an indifferent end user, where the producers get to bear the costs.

                      Pulse protein industry was developed in Canada.
                      That’s a new market, actually astronomical opportunities.
                      I’m glad it’s here and being developed here.

                      Critical thinking without solutions is easy.
