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 Canadian 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.



The Crop Nutrients Council hosted a symposium on environmental and economic issues impacting the use of crop nutrients. Topics included government regulation, research gaps and production implications. It was held 18 November 2003 in the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan, 2125 Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK.
