While the FCS was to submit its recommendations with 130 pages of background data, Radwanski says the precise calculations should be taken with a grain of salt-partly because there’s so much variability among farms and regions, partly because farm research has been so severely underfunded. That’s why the group started out with “a matrix of between 20 and 30 management practice changes”, McCreary said, but then focused in on a shortlist that had clear benefits and no obvious disadvantages for farmers. ![]() “He suggested that the Liberals, conscious of generally having a more urban outlook, likely ‘feel a bit vulnerable’ in trying to enlist farmers in new sustainability efforts,” the columnist writes. Saskatchewan grain and livestock farmer Ian McCreary, who co-chaired the task force behind the FCS report, told Radwanski it would be “the understatement of the year” that relations between the federal government and the farm community haven’t been great. That’s because “producers have no control over world market prices or charges imposed on them by railways and others involved in getting their crops to market,” the Saskatchewan-based publication adds. ![]() After Ottawa announced a gradual increase in the federal floor price on carbon, to $170 per tonne by 2030, “a wide spectrum of farm groups said this would have a punitive and pointless impact on most western Canadian farming,” Western Producer reports. The farm sector itself has not generally been receptive to federal climate action. “Federal spending on climate change mitigation and adaptation in agriculture is also much lower than spending in other sectors, such as transportation and energy, even though farmers are on the front lines of worsening climate impacts and also need support to learn and implement new techniques and technologies,” it states. The report says Canada has begun to increase funding to reduce farm emissions and boost resilience, but “still lags far behind other jurisdictions,” with the European Union spending 73 times more and the United States 13 times more per acre or hectare. Another $15 million per year to shift farms to clean energy and build awareness by “celebrating climate champions” in the sector.$25 million per year to normalize rotational grazing and cut 0.3 Mt, at a cost of $77 per tonne.$30 million per year to protect wetlands and trees on farms and cut 4.1 Mt, at a cost of $8 per tonne.$115 million per year to promote cover cropping and cut 2.2 Mt, at a cost of $51 per tonne.$115 million per year to reduce farm nitrogen use and cut 2.9 Mt, at a cost of $40 per tonne.Its proposed supports for more sustainable farming practices, from soil management to cattle grazing to wetlands preservation, come with specific emissions reduction and cost-per-tonne projections.” The specifics include: “Our partnership with Deliveroo will not only enable hawkers to expand their income streams, but also broaden their customer base more effectively, so that they can continue to delight our palettes with Singapore’s favourite hawker dishes,” added Varun Saraf, CEO at WhyQ.While “Ottawa is awash in reports about how to meet its climate targets,” Radwanski adds, “this one stands out as unusually constructive. Today the word is used more broadly within music and other creative industries. “Deliveroo understands the challenges that hawkers face while trying to pivot to online delivery during the pandemic, and we hope this partnership will help to address some of these challenges,” said Sarah Tan, general manager of Deliveroo Singapore. JMashup was once a term only used in DJ circles to describe 2 or more tracks laid over the top of each other to (in theory) create something that is more than the sum of its parts. To further encourage customers to support the country’s local hawker community, Deliveroo will offer free delivery for the first two weeks of January and February 2022 for those who spend a minimum of S$20 across 15 selected hawkers under Delveroo’s Mix & Match concept, with up to 2,000 redemptions. Deliveroo initially announced the pilot will start on 6 December. The partnership will first pilot with 15 hawker centres from 13 December 2021, before rolling out to over 50 hawker centres by the end of 2022. Set one at the beginning to create an extended intro to mix in, or set one at the end of a track.
