Why Now

Multiple programs and initiatives are advancing climate-smart practices, but no single effort can deliver financial breakthroughs at scale. CANZA connects these efforts, building cohesive, investable solutions that deliver measurable economic and environmental value across Canada.

How We Work

How CANZA Unites the Agri-Food Sector to Drive Change

Supporting Farmers

We work with farmers and advisors to co-design and deliver projects that support the adoption of practices aligned with climate-smart agriculture. Through on-farm initiatives, technical support, and applied research, we help to share risk and demonstrate measurable environmental outcomes.

Engaging Corporate Partners

Companies invest to scale these efforts, and in the process they benefit from reporting credible, aggregated farm-level outcomes that align with their sustainability goals.

Building Shared Infrastructure

By developing data systems, exploring financial models, and aligning incentives, we create the foundation for long-term, system-wide advancements across the agri-food sector.
