CropLife Canada has launched the microsite Helping Canada Grow, to share key findings about how plant science innovations benefit Canada's families, economy and environment.

A few facts to consider:

• Without pesticides and plant biotechnology, we’d pay about 55% more for food – roughly $4,400 more per family.
• The plant science industry contributes $9.8 billion to Canada’s GDP every year.
• Without pesticides and biotech crops, Canada would need to farm almost 50% more land to grow the same amount of food – that’s more than the total area of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. combined.

Agri-retailers workers are encouraged to visit the site, and share this information as part of the ongoing conversation that preserves agriculture's social license to operate.
