2 Outline 1.Introduction: IPNI - Who, Where and What? 2. Global Warming, Climate Change, and Agriculture 3. Observed shifts in crops, and Potential shifts in crops. 4. Questions and Discussion 2

3 1. Introduction A not-for-profit, scientific organization dedicated to responsible management of plant nutrients for the benefit of the human family Unified, scientific voice for the world s fertilizer industry Define the basis for appropriate use and management of plant nutrients, focusing on the environmental and economic aspects 3

4 IPNI is supported by leading fertilizer manufacturers and industry associations 4

10 What causes these increases? Fossil fuel burning release about 6 billion tons of carbon (CO2) each year to the atmosphere Methane (CH4) from agriculture, livestock, landfills and industry have increased by 133% Nitrous oxide (N2O) from agriculture and industry has increased by 15% Change in land use and land cover release 1 billion tons of carbon plus other gases Degaetano _ General Overview of Climate Change Science, Cornell University

11 Degaetano _ General Overview of Climate Change Science, Cornell University

12 Agriculture s Portion of Greenhouse Gases Agriculture is itself responsible for an estimated one third of climate change. It is generally agreed that about 25% of carbon dioxide emissions, are produced by agricultural sources: deforestation use of fossil fuel-based fertilizers, and the burning of biomass. Most of the methane in the atmosphere comes from domestic ruminants, forest fires, wetland rice cultivation and waste products, Conventional tillage and fertilizer use account for 70% of the nitrous oxides. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the three main causes of the increase in greenhouse gases observed over the past 250 years have been fossil fuels, land use, and agriculture. 12

15 Effect of CO 2 on Plant Growth Grubinger, in Bill Burtis, U of Vermont 15

16 Since weather is the primary driver of yield potential. If the climate and weather change, then yields will change and potentially the crops grown will change Image: International Federation of Agricultural Producers Paris, France 16

17 Current and projected range of Sugar Maple From: Margaret Davis, University of Minnesota Based on projected doubling of CO 2 by 2050 and reduced precip. Grubinger, in Bill Burtis, U of Vermont

18 One of the greatest unknowns is what will happen with precipitation? Degaetano _ General Overview of Climate Change Science, Cornell University

19 Observed Crop Shifts 19

20 Corn and Soybean Acres 20

21 Canola Acres 21

22 Potential Crop Shifts 22

23 Wheat 1. Winter Wheat Expanded acres Move north 2. Spring Wheat Less acres Move north? 3. Durum More acres? Move north 23

24 Canola B. napus Move North More, same or less acres? 24

25 Present Canola Growing Areas 25

26 Barley Move north Acres? 26

27 Forages: alfalfa, and cool season grasses Move north Acres? 27

28 Potatoes and Sugar Beets, in irrigated and moist areas Move north Tied to irrigation Acres? 28

29 Oats Already north Move north more? Acres? 29

30 Flax for linseed oil and some edible oil Move north Acres? 30

31 Pulses lentils, field pea, chick pea, dry beans Expanded acres? 31

32 Mustards yellow, oriental, brown, (B. Juncea) More acres, in a drier and warmer south Increase in canola quality B. juncea Other mustards? 32

33 Corn, silage and some grain corn Move north More acres Both dryland and irrigated 33

34 Soybean Move north More acres 34

35 Irrigation Move north More acres More demand on more or less water? 35

36 Manitoba Agriculture and Climate Change - Above-normal spring temperatures - An increase in summer temperatures of 3 4oC - An increase in fall temperatures of 2 3oC - An increase in winter temperatures of 5 8oC - An increase in springtime precipitation of 5 10 percent - A decline in summer precipitation of percent Source: Manitoba government 36

37 Saskatchewan Agriculture Adaption to Climate Change Warmer and Drier Need to grow more drought tolerant crops Less canola, more winter wheat Expansion of irrigated acres Suite of insects and diseases will change Warmer and More Moisture More corn and soybean Longer season, higher yielding crops Expansion of potential cropping areas Northern expansion of cropping 37

38 Agriculture in Alberta and Adaption to Climate Change Warmer and Drier Need to grow more drought tolerant crops Less spring wheat, more winter wheat Expansion of new irrigated acres in the north Warmer and More Moisture More corn and soybean Longer season, higher yielding crops Northern expansion of cropping 38

41 Climate Change Effects in My Backyard, Northern Great Plains Not all bad for the northern fridge of agriculture, benefits? Corn belt moving north Winter wheat zone moving north More farmland available further north and at higher altitudes Disadvantages Canola zone moving north, high temperatures in early July cause flower blasting Weather uncertainty: drought, more winter moisture, less early summer rains, more extremes e.g. cool at the wrong time More forest clearing, more CO2!

42 3. How can we assist our farm clients to adapt? Efforts to globally reduce greenhouse gases are not looking promising Mitigation initiatives, yes but agriculture only part of the whole picture, but some financial incentives available in some regions $15 to $45 per CO2 tonne eqivalent Reduced tillage, soil organic matter increases, carbon credits More efficient N fertilizer, less N2O, paid for carbon credits Livestock feeding changes, less CH4, carbon credits Improved manure handling, less N2O, carbon credits Growing bio-fuels, carbon credits Temperatures will continue to rise Need to prepare for adaption to different crops and more irrigation? 42

43 4R Nutrient Stewardship Right Source, Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place Increased fertilizer use efficiency results in: less CO2 emitted to manufacture needed fertilizer less N2O emissions More efficient use of limited water Greater yield per unit of fertilizer used 43

44 Can Agriculture Adapt to Climate Change? Yes Shifting of crop choices and locations of crops Look to the south of you and see what they grow Crop breeding efforts Growing season length, heat units Pest resistance Drought and heat tolerant Location of livestock operations where economically and environmentally it is most suitable Look for opportunities, cease some activities that are less suitable 44
