Winnipeg Branch Sunrise Seminar
CPD Credits – one
“Carbon Markets and the Impact on Agriculture”
"The debate has moved on to what kinds of carbon offsetting have credibility, and which fall into the 'snake oil' category. Those that have genuine integrity are now, actually, driving a massive cottage industry around the world, which is every day reducing CO2 emissions". – Al Gore.
Speaker: Bruce Love, Country Manager for Canada, AgCert™ Canada
Bruce Love will help to de-mystify and clarify this aspect of commercializing climate change in a fast-paced presentation.
What are carbon offsets? How do they fit into the climate change challenge if they are so cheap? What is going on in the Canadian market? Is it ‘OK’ to make money from climate change? Isn’t offsetting about planting trees? What are the implications for agrologists, their customers and clients?
Bruce Love has extensive experience in agriculture including agri-products & services, commodity trading and regulation and marketing. He is based in Calgary.
AgCert™ is a global company with greenhouse gas emission reduction activities in Canada and worldwide.
