Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is home to more than 40% of Canada’s cropland, playing a significant part in making a tangible contribution toward sustainable farming in Canada. As one of the nation’s top agricultural provinces, Saskatchewan remains committed to fostering responsible nutrient management practices that enhance crop productivity while protecting the environment.

Fertilizer Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan are renewing their commitment to 4R Nutrient Stewardship with the signing of an updated Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) extending until 2028. This renewal builds on the progress made since the original MOC was signed in 2016, reinforcing Saskatchewan’s dedication to science-based fertilizer management through the 4R Nutrient Stewardship framework (Right Source @ Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place).

Healthy soil means healthy crops, and that’s part of the reason Saskatchewan enjoys a reputation as a major global producer of quality agri-food products,” Minister of Agriculture Daryl Harrison said. “The 4R approach is fundamental to a responsible, sustainable agriculture industry driven by producers who set the bar for best practices, and we’re very pleased to continue working with Fertilizer Canada to enhance 4R Nutrient Stewardship in our province.”

The partnership strengthens environmental stewardship by supporting farmers in adopting science-based fertilizer application practices through the 4R Nutrient Stewardship. By extending this agreement until 2028, Saskatchewan reaffirms its leadership in sustainable farming, promoting both agricultural productivity and environmental responsibility for future generations.
