Northwestern Polytechnic has been given a federal grant worth $1 million over five years for a regenerative agriculture research project.
It will be led by the National Bee Diagnostic Centre at the Beaverlodge Research Farm.
A release from NWP says this will focus on soil health and will look to, quote, “create a producer-led, collaborative research and knowledge extension network that can connect growers in the Peace.”
“Our entrepreneurial producers in the Peace have been using regenerative agricultural practices without using specific terminology. Other producers may be curious but lack the knowledge or experience they need to get started. I think that’s where our project can help fill some gaps,” says project co-director Dr. Patricia Wolf Veiga in that same release.
