Increasingly unpredictable winter temperatures have Ontario maple syrup producers concerned about how climate change will affect the industry's future, with some pushing for environmentally friendly practices to reduce the sector's carbon footprint.
"They've increased in the frequency we've had them and also the length of time that we stay warm, so it's harder for us to estimate when we should be tapping." The maple syrup producers association nonetheless expects substantial growth over the next 10 years, with millions of taps being added in Ontario, Quebec and some American states. And demand for maple syrup shows no sign of slowing.
If sap evaporators are more efficient, carbon emissions can be cut down significantly, he said. Well-maintained maple trees also store more carbon via a process known as natural sequestration – in which trees take in and store carbon dioxide, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Renaud said.
