Response to New Horizons: Ontario’s Draft Agricultural Soil Health and Conservation Strategy

 
Agricultural soil health is a vital issue in Ontario, which also holds some of the country’s most viable and productive farmland. Fertilizer Canada supports the development of a strategy to enhance the health of Ontario’s soils for agricultural production. As members of the Soil Conservation Council of Canada, we encourage collaboration between stakeholders to support the commitment to secure the sustainable productivity of Canada’s soils. Aligning the research and extension efforts of soil science and conservation in Ontario is imperative to reach these objectives.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
