• Waste Management Technologies

Terramera uses science, nature, and artificial intelligence to create game-changing technologies to help solve problems relating to wasted food, which accounts for about 8% of all global CO₂ emissions. Its regenerative agriculture pulls carbon from the air and sequesters it in the soil. This improves plant and soil health, reduces pesticide and fertilizer use, and dramatically reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide. For farming and agricultural businesses that are seeking ways to improve the environment, Terramera’s technology helps grow better and faster crops while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As outlined in our Producing Prosperity plan, Canada needs a strategy that recognizes agriculture’s centrality to our nation’s climate, health and economy. We’ve outlined policies to ensure farmers remain profitable, can compete in global agri-food markets and provide affordable food for Canadians.

The Global Centre for Regenerative Agriculture is an exciting proposal that can help turn these policies into action. Their work aims to bridge the divide between traditional and regenerative approaches in agriculture. Because, as the Terramerra team puts it, the divide doesn’t matter – data does. Using novel technologies to measure the GHG sequestration and reductions resulting from best management practices (BMPs) is key to ensuring that farmers’ efforts are recognized.
