Vision

Mission

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T

It is a very remarkable time for those of us surrounded

by agriculture. In fact, some would say agriculture and

the plant science industry are at a crossroads. Our

industry is developing new technologies and products that

are helping agriculture address some of the greatest

challenges facing us.

More than ever before, Canada’s farmers are playing

an important role in meeting the needs of the growing

world population and, at the same time, helping to address key challenges

like climate change and water shortages. There is increased focus on

the importance farmers are playing in ensuring sustainability and in

implementing good stewardship practices.

By 2050, the world population will have increased to 9.6 billion. Through

pesticides and plant biotechnology, the plant science industry offers farmers

important tools for increasing yields, enhancing food quality and increasing

farm profits, thus helping to sustain our growing population. CropLife Canada

works with its members to ensure there is continued access to existing and

new crop protection technologies to control weeds, insects and diseases and

seeds with novel traits to grow crops with healthier properties – all which will

help ensure we can feed a hungry world.

Agriculture is continuing to evolve to address today’s challenges and to

minimize its footprint on the environment. From increasing yields, to using

less water, to ensuring crops are disease and drought resistant, agriculture is

providing sustainable benefits to Canadians, the environment and the overall

Canadian economy.

Our future depends on the entire agriculture industry working together to

establish Canada as a world leader in developing new products and new

solutions to challenges in the production of food, energy, and industrial

products to benefit the millions of consumers and the environment in which

we live.

CropLife Canada’s move to Ottawa in 2009 positions our industry closer to

our key stakeholders to better seize the opportunies that exist for agriculture.

InnovationAgriculture has a tradition of transforming itself through innovation. As that tradition continues, Canada’s plant science industry is committed to being part of the value chain that proudly contributes food, fuel and bio-products for a growing world population.

The innovations Canada’s plant science industry are pursuing are diverse and ambitious. They include looking for ways to tackle important challenges such as climate change and water shortages, minimizing agriculture’s environmental footprint, readying the industry for increased demands on yields and helping farmers to prosper.

In order to ensure that innovations are available to producers at the earliest possible opportunity, CropLife Canada puts significant effort into working with various levels of government to ensure that Canada’s regulatory environment is supportive of, and conducive to, continued innovation.

IMPROVING REGULATORY APPROACHES AND STANDARDSIn 2009, CropLife Canada identified the following as areas where regulatory improvements would be beneficial for the plant science industry:

• encouraging the Government of Canada to align regulatory approaches with our trading partners for better international trade,• consistent procedures and workable timelines for the establishment of specific maximum residue limits where a default limit is withdrawn, • changes to resource requirements in value data, • increased efficiencies in NAFTA and global joint reviews for pesticides, • more flexibility and transparency around confined field trials for novel seed trait developers, • development and implementation of a policy for plant-made industrial products,• a working model for low level presence both for products of export and import to Canada, and • recognizing the importance of discontinued biotechnology products and their impact upon international trade.

Additionally, CropLife Canada has worked with a number of industry groups – including the Global Adventitious Presence Coalition, the Grains Innovation Roundtable and CropLife International – to establish an internationally acceptable set of practices to deal with the low level presence of biotech products, which have been approved in one or more countries, but not the country of import. In the coming year, CropLife Canada will continue to work with these groups and the government of Canada to explore how these guidelines can be implemented.

LOOKING BEYOND OUR OWN BORDERSCropLife Canada has sought to reduce barriers for Canada’s plant science industry by:

• working with regulators in the U.S. and Mexico on enhancements to the pesticide registration and maximum residue limit harmonization initiatives under the North America Free Trade Agreement Technical Working Group on Pesticides,• working with agricultural stakeholders to put forward recommendations for inclusion in ongoing Canada-EU trade agreement negotiations,• commenting on Korea’s proposed revisions to its Act on Transboundary Movements of Living Modified Organisms (LMO). In conjunction with the Canola Council of Canada and BIOTECanada, CropLife Canada submitted a letter outlining specific comments on the proposed LMO Act revisions and requested that the Canadian government articulate to the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy the impact these revisions may have on Canadian agriculture and trade.

• providing input to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for the third China–Canada Agricultural Biotechnology Working Group meeting and fourth Technical Workshop on Regulatory Cooperation Regarding Agricultural Products of Biotechnology. CropLife Canada also provided a speaker to highlight how to make a submission package.

Intellectual property and data protection are matters of on-going concern for the plant science industry for both chemistry and plant biotechnology innovations.

CropLife Canada has been working with the federal government and stakeholders to develop policy and regulations that provide an equitable, transparent process for the protection of intellectual property and registration of generic pesticides. It is anticipated that regulations supporting protection of proprietary data will be finalized in early 2010.

A CropLife Canada working group has been examining intellectual property and data protection for plant biotechnology. They are looking at other global models for Canada, and building on what the crop protection side of the industry has learned as a result of extensive work regarding the protection of proprietary interests in pesticides data. A meeting is planned early next year to compare models and discuss applicability for Canada and reach consensus across all member companies.

The competitiveness of agriculture has never been more important than it is today, and CropLife Canada, in partnership with government and our farmer customers, are working on a number of initiatives that will result in a win – win for our industry and agriculture as a whole.

The importance of continuing our efforts to ensure that the comments and concerns of Canada’s plant science industry are heard by legislators at all levels of government was underscored by the Ontario government’s decision to ban the sale and use of pesticides for lawns and gardens. Despite CropLife Canada’s efforts to emphasize the importance of science-based regulations, the Ontario government ultimately implemented regulations that are best described as being devoid of any scientific foundation.

“The Ontario government has created an environment of uncertainty that makes it unlikely Canada will be seen as a place to invest, as newer and more effective pest control products are made available in other countries,” said Lorne Hepworth, president of CropLife Canada. “The consequences of these irrational decisions won’t be felt immediately, but Ontarians are beginning to realize that the products this government is banning provide safe and effective ways of dealing with pest problems that are detrimental to human health and safety, and which cause landscape and structural losses that have real and significant financial costs.”

CropLife Canada continues to work with stakeholders to encourage other governments at both the municipal and provincial levels to think critically about the information they review before implementing changes that disregard the internationally recognized standards used by Health Canada to determine what pest control products should be available for use by Canadians. We will continue to advocate for science-based regulations and access to safe and effective tools.

stewardshipCropLife Canada and its members have a long-standing commitment to leading-edge stewardship programming that protects human health and the environment with a lifecycle model to ensure that from lab to label, and from farmyard and beyond, the innovations of Canada’s plant science industry are responsibly managed. As recognition of our successful programming grows, so too do the number of international partners looking to introduce similar success to their own regions, and the willingness of new partners to join with the industry to promote stewardship practices that protect two of our most important resources – people and the planet.

M A N U F A C T U R I N G S T A N D A R D S

In June 2009, CropLife Canada updated its standards for manufacturing facilities based on a review of industry-established protocols and benchmarks. 19 standards are now mandatory and include a focus on crisis communications. The updates also included the requirement to achieve a passing grade of 80 per cent. We have revised the standard equivalency program to avoid duplication with other existing standards that manufacturers may follow.

A G R I C H E M I C A L W A R E H O U S I N G S T A N D A R D S A S S O C I A T I O N

This year, 1437 sites were certified across Canada by 23 trained auditors. In addition, a new random audit protocol was initiated focusing on strengthening the mandatory protocols to ensure an improved random and robust audit process. CropLife Canada has partnered with the Canadian Fertilizer Institute to audit anhydrous ammonia sites. Over the past year, CropLife Canada began audits in preparation for a national no-ship policy, similar to AWSA’s policy, which will be commencing January 1, 2011.

CropLife Canada’s sprayer calibration program provides farmers with access to a professional agricultural engineer who inspects sprayer equipment to ensure that equipment is functioning accurately. The program continues to thrive in Prince Edward Island, where it has been operating for the past three years, and CropLife Canada’s Atlantic Council is exploring the potential to expand the program to other Maritime provinces. 2009 marks the second year of the Ontario program, which surpassed expectations by delivering workshops to over 60 participants.

C O N T A I N E R M A N A G E M E N T

Canadian farmers continue to be leaders in returning their empty pesticide containers. In 2008, CropLife Canada collected 4.8 million containers and recycled them into farm drainage tile and industrial waste containers. The container management program has earned the respect of our counterparts around the world for its thoroughness and effectiveness, thanks to the support and participation of stakeholders throughout the agricultural sector.

In 2010, CropLife Canada looks to build upon the success of the container management program through the launch of CleanFARMS™ Inc. CleanFARMS™ Inc. will be the stewardship association to deliver industry‘s end-use management programs, including the Empty Pesticide Container Recycling Program and the Obsolete Pesticide Collection Campaign.

CropLife Canada has piloted the collection of empty pesticide paper bags at two locations in Prince Edward Island and, based on the success of that program, will be expanding to all dealers in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia next year.

O B S O L E T E P E S T I C I D E C O L L E C T I O N C A M P A I G N

In 2008, as part of our commitment to safely remove and dispose of obsolete pesticides, CropLife Canada partnered with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Manitoba Conservation andthe Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers to collect 51,158 kg of obsolete pesticides from Manitoba farmers. To date, over 1.2 million kilograms of obsolete and unwanted pesticides has been collected as part of the national Obsolete Pesticide Collection Campaign delivered to farmers across Canada.

sustainabilityCanada’s farmers play an important role in meeting the food and fuel needs, often with the help of modern agricultural technologies. By using modern plant sciences, such as plant biotechnology and pesticides, farmers enhance their ability to achieve sustainability not only on their own farms, but also in terms of how they help meet the global needs of the planet and the people on it.

CropLife Canada and its members acknowledge their existing stewardship initiatives and their responsibility to help farmers operate sustainably, and will build on existing programs and practices to do so.

As leaders in research and development, Canada’s plant science companies embrace their responsibility to focus research investments in areas that will create even more robust opportunities for sustainable agriculture.

CropLife Canada, in partnership with our members, is looking to further highlight our industry’s contribution to sustainability in a new publication to be released in 2010.

“It’s a changing world and our innovations are going to be part of shaping the future,” Hepworth said. “One of the most important contributions we can make is to invest in technology that will help protect Canada’s rich, agricultural land – a major source of world food production – and ensures that Canadian farmers remain competitive and maintain a sustainable environment for future generations.”

partnershipCropLife Canada recognizes the importance of partnerships and has worked hard over the past year to build on existing partnerships as well as to create new ones that can be of mutual benefit.

One of the major ways we accomplished this was through changes to our 2008 conference. By moving the event to early winter and partnering with Grain Growers of Canada, CropLife Canada sent a clear signal that we and our members value the opportunity to forge stronger ties with Canada’s producers. 500 attendees participated in this year’s conference in Ottawa, celebrating innovation in agriculture. For 2009, CropLife Canada will be building on this success with the inaugural GrowCanada® Conference that will be held in Calgary in 2009.

Those ties also played an important role for our organization as we sought to ensure that all voices would be heard in the debate about urban pesticide use and the real potential for the urban use issue to have major impacts for all commercial users of pest control products, but especially for farmers.

The risk to agriculture was affirmed last November when the Canadian Cancer Society hosted a two-day conference that purported to explore whether there was evidence linking the agricultural use of pesticides to cancer.

The industry’s request to formally participate in the conference was denied, however many others – including farmers, scientists and regulators – delivered the messages that we ourselves would have brought: that pest control products play an important role in producing healthy foods that contribute to positive health for Canadians; that farmers view pesticides as just one tool in their toolbox as part of a commitment to Integrated Pest Management (IPM); and that Canada has thorough scientific processes in place to ensure the safety of all Canadians – whether pesticides are part of their work life, whether they live in communities where pesticide use is required, or whether they eat foods that were grown with the help of pesticide products.

The work of ensuring that the benefits of pesticides are better understood and that Canadians are reassured that they are being appropriately regulated will continue, and will specifically include seeking opportunities to exchange information with the Canadian Cancer Society and other groups who have taken a stance against the use of modern plant science products.

We have been encouraged by the number of groups that have chosen to speak up in defense of plant science chemistry. In provinces across the country, user groups have indicated their interest in ensuring that the misinformation at the heart of Ontario’s ban on lawn and garden pesticide use is not repeated in other jurisdictions.

reaching outA key role for CropLife Canada is providing industry, stakeholders, farmers, government and consumers with science-based information on the benefits our products provide and Canada’s strict regulatory system.

We have embarked on an outreach program that sees CropLife Canada – with general support from our member companies – participate in large agricultural events such as the Aggie Days and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. At these events, we have the opportunity to speak to members of the public directly and to answer their questions about plant science innovations.

C O N S U M E R S I S K E Y F O R C R O P L I F E C A N A D A A N D

I T S M E M B E R S . This year, CropLife Canada developed a tool kit to help ensure our industry and our partners are communicating in an easy to understand manner regarding the safety and benefits of plant science technologies, and to answer commonly asked questions.

We also focus on partnerships that will benefit the leaders of tomorrow – partnerships such as our annual donation to Actua, which provides the financial support required to send young adults science camp and our decision to hire 4-H members to work alongside plant science professionals at our industry outreach program.

On December 4, 2008, CropLife Canada hosted a meeting with Richard Aucoin, Executive Director, Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) to share priorities for the upcoming year and to discuss key initiatives. CropLife Canada is looking to ensure further communication, performance efficiencies and key policy implementation with the PMRA.

CropLife Canada’s annual interface day in Ottawa was once again well-attended by both CropLife Canada members and PMRA staff. The meeting focused on key areas including maximum residue levels, submission efficiency plans, habitat protection and determination of value and industry’s commitment to stewardship.

CropLife Canada’s Biotech Stewardship and Regulatory Committee hosted its annual Government Dialogue Day on May 5, 2009 in Ottawa, and focused on examining “introducing new tools to meet global challenges”. Leading officials from Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Environment Canada and International Trade reported on current activities and projects which impact plant biotechnology crops and products.

CropLife Canada hosted a reception for visiting delegates and their Canadian counterparts when the fourth China–Canada Agricultural Biotechnology Working Group meeting was held in March. The reception gave CropLife Canada members a chance to interact with representatives from the Chinese Development Center for Science and Technology, Ministry of Agriculture and Department of Science, Technology and Education, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Health Canada. The China-Canada Agricultural Biotechnology Working Group met to exchange information about how each country regulates products of biotechnology and to work towards a closer alignment of risk assessment policies and procedures.
