SSCA Launches No-till Credit Campaign
The SSCA with support from the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers has launched an awareness campaign to advocate on behalf of no-till farmers’ right to benefit from carbon credits that could be part of a climate-change management policy.
The awareness campaign rolls out with a series of large billboards located along major Saskatchewan highways, accompanied by a website that explains why no-till farming should earn credits. The theme is “No-till farming. Give it credit.”
