AGRIS Co-operative was recently awarded the 4R Nutrient
Stewardship Agri-Retailer award at the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers(CAAR) Annual Conference in Banff, Alberta.
“Using
4R Nutrient Stewardship, we can help our customers fully realize the benefits
of this program”, said Jim Campbell, general manager of AGRIS-Co-operative. The
framework aligns perfectly with the responsible, effective, and profitable
planning we offer our customers. If we can help farmers to optimize crop
yields, and make sustainable contributions to Canada’s agri-food sector, it’s a
win for everyone.”
AGRIS Co-operative has embraced 4R Nutrient Stewardship philosophies and strategies with
14 of the co-operatives’ 22 Certified Crop Advisors having completed FertilizerCanada’s eLearning 4R training. Additionally, introductory training sessions of
the key elements of 4R Nutrient Stewardship were completed by all staff. And most
recently, the AGRIS board of directors has adopted the FS Stewardship Pledge.
AGRIS-Co-operative
Ltd. works alongside other Ontario stakeholders, including Fertilizer Canada,
to further
the adoption of 4R Nutrient Stewardship to protect and conserve water quality
and ecosystem health
in the province.
Adrian Vandyk, AGRIS Co-operative operations manager accepts the award for the
co-operative, presented by Cassandra Cotton, director, sustainability and membership with Fertilizer Canada.
