The world's climate summit - COP28 - was the backdrop for the announcement of a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Province of Saskatchewan and Bayer Crop Science.
The goal of the MOU is to develop new technologies to lower greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture through the use of digital farming, smart farming, and precision farming.
Premier Scott Moe says together, they can help create new solutions for global food security and sustainability.
Saskatchewan has a long history of pioneering sustainable agricultural practices.
In 2021 alone, farmers sequestered about 15 million tonnes of carbon in their land, through increased crop production and zero-till practices.
Stats show that Saskatchewan's overall net carbon footprint for canola and wheat production is over 60 per cent lower than comparable competitors.
