Saskatchewan producers are leaders in agricultural sustainability, with a decades-long focus on soil health, diversified crop rotations, carbon sequestration and adopting precision farming. These methods have not only led to the preservation of wildlife habitat and environmental biodiversity but have also resulted in significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, enabling Saskatchewan’s emergence as a leader in sustainable agriculture. Recent research commissioned by the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) found that Saskatchewan’s net carbon footprint for crop production is significantly lower than that of competitive jurisdictions.
Consumer awareness of environmental and social impacts is driving demand for sustainably produced goods. Saskatchewan’s agricultural sector recognizes this shift and is aligning its practices with evolving consumer preferences. Producers are increasingly focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, including energy consumption, biodiversity, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate resilience, water management, food safety, fair labour practices and Indigenous partnerships.
International importers of Saskatchewan agri-food products have implemented ESG plans and are interested in working with Saskatchewan exporters and producers to meet their goals and objectives.
Saskatchewan’s commitment to sustainable farming practices is recognized and supported by trade partners internationally. The province maintains nine international offices to bolster trade relations and promote its agricultural industry and its sustainable practices. These offices are located in Mexico, China, Japan, Vietnam, India, Germany, United Kingdom, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.
In June 2024, Saskatchewan hosted an executive delegation from Grupo Trimex – one of the largest wheat trader and milling companies in Mexico. The delegation engaged with local producers, Cereals Canada and the Global Institute for Food Security to learn about sustainable practices being followed at every stage of production, processing and distribution. This delegation visit enhanced Saskatchewan trade relations with Mexico, particularly in the wheat and grain sector. Saskatchewan is Canada’s largest supplier of agri-food products to Mexico, accounting for 34.2 per cent of the country’s total agri-food exports in 2023. By ensuring sustainable farming, processing, and sourcing standards, Grupo Trimex can satisfy its customers, investors and other stakeholders’ preference for sustainably produced food products.
During Canadian Western Agribition in 2023, Saskatchewan welcomed a Vietnam delegation from the Livestock Association of Dong Nai Province who were interested to learn how Saskatchewan ranchers are renowned for being excellent stewards of the land. Saskatchewan profiled how beef cattle producers have reduced their GHG emission intensity through production efficiencies that require less land, water and feed.
Saskatchewan’s approach to sustainable agriculture enhances its own economic growth, serving as a model for Canada and the global agriculture industry. Innovative farming practices used by our farmers and ranchers demonstrate a significant reduction in carbon footprints and promote environmental stewardship on a global stage.
By connecting with international markets through our global offices and investing in cutting-edge research, Saskatchewan has become a leader in sustainable farming, ensuring global food security as consumers continue to prioritize ESG factors. Saskatchewan’s dedication to these principles will play a crucial role in shaping the future of agriculture worldwide.
