CFPI Update CRSC, Winnipeg, Nov. 15, 2018
CFPI Overview
• Develops tools and methodologies to measure crop sustainability
• Provides outcomes-based evidence of sustainability performance
• Canadian methodologies and field-level datasets
CFPI Funders 2018
• Fertilizer Canada
• CropLife Canada
• Pulse Canada
• Grain Farmers of Ontario
CFPI Principles
• Objective
• Science-based
• Outcomes-based
• Measurement of relative sustainability, with emphasis on motivating and demonstrating continuous improvement
• Production-technology-neutral
Formalizing Collaboration / Alignment
• Alignment of processes
• Financial viability
• Governance
Field to Market
Canadian Field Print Initiative
Alignment of Base Principles
Outcome-based (quantitative) • Demonstrate progress over time • Inputs – Outputs • Metrics
Practice-based (qualitative) • Compliance platform • Verification – Company specific • Certification – ISCC
Field to Market Indicator CFPI Indicator (units) Notes
Land Use Land Use (T/ha), (ha/T)
Irrigation Water Use Only a small proportion of Canadian farmland is
irrigated
Soil Conservation Soil Loss (T soil/ha)
Energy Use Energy Use (GJ/ha), (GJ/T)
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Climate Impact (T CO2e/ha), (T CO2e/T)
Habitat Potential Index Biodiversity Indicator Indicator of wildlife habitat capacity on farmland,
(5-point scale, very low to very high)
Soil Conditioning Index Soil Organic Carbon Change (T CO2e/ha)
Water Quality Index Indicator of Risk of Water Contamination by
Nitrogen
Relative index, (5-point scale, very low to very
high risk)
Indicator of Risk of Water Contamination by
Phosphorus
Relative index, (5-point scale, very low to very
high risk)
Introduction to the CFPI indicators

• Crops – spring wheat, winter wheat, durum wheat, oats, canola, peas, flax, lentils
• Geography – Western Canada & Ontario
• Time frame – 1981-2011
Accumulation of Data
Custom Runs of AAFC Models
• Energy Use Indicator
• Climate Impact Indicator
• Soil Erosion Indicator

We have compiled the modelled outcomes of your oat production in the table below. The
indicator outputs are all based on an index of 100 being the annual provincial average for that
crop. Given the importance of both yield and nitrogen fertilizer application to the energy use
and climate impact indicators, those are also reproduced here for ease of reference.
Index of 100 = provincial average for the same: • Crop • Year • Indicator
Sample Outputs
Shading only identifies areas where YOUR
operation is doing best/worst
Pilot Workshop Locations
• Manitoba:
– Morris (General Mills / Paterson Grain)
– Elva (General Mills / Cargill)
• Saskatchewan:
– Melfort (General Mills / Agritrend)
– Nipawin (General Mills / Cargill)
• Ontario: winter wheat 2017 (soybeans 2016)
