About Us

We care about the world’s ability to produce food, fuel and fibre in a sustainable way. That can’t happen without crop nutrients. The Crop Nutrients Council exists to co-ordinate the efforts of the agriculture sector in addressing issues about how to best use crop nutrients and what that means to the Earth and to people.

Our Mission

The Crop Nutrients Council’s mission is to promote science-based beneficial management practices for crop nutrients that enhance both the economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture.

We are a national, consolidated cross-section of proactive, responsible members of the crop nutrient industry focused on the future and sustainability of all agricultural endeavors.

The Council strives to be a source of information for federal and provincial governments, as well as growers and the general public, and co-ordinates communication to these audiences about environmentally sound crop nutrient practices in the production of food.

We are also fostering communication and co-operation between all our members, and encourage research in support of science-based crop nutrient beneficial management practices.

Our thanks to the Canadian Rural Adaptation Fund and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) for the support in creating the Council.  AAFC is pleased to participate in the production of this website, and is committed to working with industry partners to increase public awareness of the importance of the agri-food industry to Canada.  Opinions expressed in this document are those of CNC and not necessarily the Department's.
