They are the ones pushing 30% reduction. Most articles I’ve read say that people in ag haven’t been contacted yet. I think it will get pushed through without much say from farmers. I’ll try find the link to the government website.

According to the graph on the discussion document -

a 30% reduction takes us back to like 2006 levels of synthetic fertilizer.
I'm not going to pretend to know anything about it, but at least at a surface level its not that far back where we using less.
Graphs also show less emissions in the west compared to Ontario, Quebec and the maritimes.
