Economic Impact
The agricultural and agri-food industry is a cornerstone of Prince Edward Island’s (PEI) economy, deeply rooted in the province’s history, culture, and economic framework. Agriculture, alongside agri-food processing, is not merely an economic activity but a way of life for many Islanders and a vital contributor to the province’s identity.
GHG Reductions
Prince Edward Island’s agriculture sector is working to cut emissions 35-40% below 2015 levels by 2040. Farmers are adopting best management practices (BMPs) to reduce their environmental impact while staying productive. This strategy focuses on soil health, nutrient efficiency, and carbon sequestration to ensure a resilient and sustainable future.
