Landowners will be taking on responsibility for the management and liability associated with soil sinks. Therefore landowners must retain individual ownership and the individual benefit for their efforts in accomplishing Canada 's greenhouse gas reduction goals (i.e., a carbon sink belongs to the landowner).
We strongly believe that agriculture will not be able to reach its potential for carbon sequestration if individual management and ownership of carbon sinks does not rest with landowners.
The question of ownership is a key question that will be fundamental in determining producers' participation in greenhouse gas reduction programs.
