Canadian Alliance for Net Zero Agri-Food (CANZA)
The Canadian Alliance for Net-Zero Agri-food (CANZA) is a new national alliance to foster collaboration and innovation to drive Canada’s agri-food system towards net zero. CANZA brings together stakeholders from across the agri-food system in support of a net-zero agri-food value chain. CANZA’s action-oriented agenda is focused on developing, testing, and scaling innovative technologies, championing bold and transformative policy measures, and developing a national carbon market that will help enable and incentivize practice changes across Canada to mitigate 150 Mt of emissions from across the agri-food sector by 2050.
