April 7: COVID-related labour costs, ag’s super power, Sask’s budget, and trade with China (Real Ag Radio – Sirius) 

April 08, 2021


Real Ag Radio Sirius XM (Canada & US Rural Radio) interviewed senior research fellow Joseph Glauber. Glauber discussed (beg. At 27:40) climate issues in the “trade” file and how the ag community is more open to how agriculture can do things to mitigate greenhouse emissions. People have seen the extremes in weather & this is concerning. China is changing policies that are more climate-friendly. In the U.S. there is talk of using subsidies to adopt policies that sequester carbon, lower GHG. The question is whether these emissions are recognized, are there standards?
