Green Paper and Position Paper on Agriculture and the Environment:

As part of the RCEN Annual Conference on the Environment, held in Montreal on October 19-21, 2006, the RCEN Agriculture Caucus has prepared a Green Paper on Agriculture and the Environment, as well as an Executive Summary of the Green Paper. The Green Paper examines the interconnections between environmental and agricultural issues in the goal of facilitating productive discussion and providing a starting point for future action. In conjuntion with the Green Paper, the Agriculture Caucus has also developed a Position Paper, Agriculture and the Environment: Analysis and Action.

All three documents were distributed for ENGO sign-on, and were presented to Agriculture Canada on March 27, 2007.
