Feeding, fueling, and clothing the world’s growing population safely and sustainably is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Farmers need innovative and collaborative approaches and policies to support them in leading the next era of sustainable agriculture. At Nutrien, that duty is the heartbeat of our organization. We are proud to serve as a convener, in Canada and around the globe, partnering across the food system to take real action for farmers and our planet.

Environmental stewardship and sustainability are ingrained in our DNA at McCain Foods. With regenerative farming practices and more efficient food processing operations, we can transform our agri-food system and build resiliency both throughout the supply chain and on Canadian farms. We’re thrilled to continue our journey towards planet-friendly food alongside like-minded industry organizations to launch CANZA.

Sustainability is not just a commitment for Maple Leaf Foods, it’s our compass, our vision, and our legacy. As the first carbon-neutral major food company in the world, we’re not just setting a standard, we’re setting an example of what’s possible when dedication meets innovation. We’re proud to partner with these incredible organizations to launch CANZA. We recognize the challenges Canada’s agri-food system faces to achieve the bold net-zero food system goal and believe that with the support of an alliance like CANZA, great things are possible together.

Canada has an enormous opportunity to boost food production for the world’s growing population while also leading the way towards net zero and a more sustainable agriculture system. BCG’s Centre for Canada’s Future is delighted to work with our public and private partners on this national moonshot.

We know that positive change in complex systems is possible, and that the private sector can be a powerful force to support that change. CANZA’s launch demonstrates our belief that together, we can create a net-zero agriculture sector and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Farmers have been embracing climate-smart agricultural practices for decades, but now it’s time for the country to get fully behind them. That means supporting coordinated initiatives that help the agri-food sector reduce emissions and finding more ways to reward farmers for what they preserve, not just what they produce. Our bank is proud to support CANZA and its focused mission to shift from strategy to action on our net-zero transition.
