CALGARY, AB – Highfield Regenerative Farm, an award-winning hub for regenerative agriculture, environmental innovation and community building, will complete its term on City of Calgary land following the next two growing seasons. Since 2019, through vision, partnerships, hard work and stoic determination, 15 acres of underutilized industrial land have been transformed into a vibrant, biodiverse space that produces nutrient-dense food, supports ecological restoration and welcomes thousands of Calgarians each year for hands-on learning and meaningful contribution.

Canadian Farmers:
Stewards for Healthy Soil

Farmers across Canada are becoming partners with their soil, working to build ever greater soil health. Sometimes called the “living skin of the Earth”, soil and its health offers a powerhouse of opportunities for both agriculture as well as our environment, influencing crop productivity, water quality and overall ecosystem resilience.

During the last year, our Council, with support from Agriculture & AgriFood Canada, travelled across Canada to interview farmers who are changing various farm practices within their operations to reflect their ever-increasing focus on soil health.

Come and meet our farmers, learn about their efforts and beliefs and be inspired. Along with these video interviews, we’ve included a series of fact sheets that detail the various soil health practices which they are using and which you can also use in your own garden and landscapes to be stewards for healthy soil.

Les agriculteurs
et agricultrices canadiens :
Des intendants pour
des sols sains

Partout au Canada, les agriculteurs deviennent des partenaires de leur sol et s’efforcent d’en améliorer la santé. Parfois appelé la « peau vivante de la Terre », le sol et sa santé offrent une multitude de possibilités tant pour l’agriculture que pour notre environnement, influençant la productivité des cultures, la qualité de l’eau et la résilience globale de l’écosystème.

Au cours de l’année écoulée, notre Conseil, avec le soutien d’Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada, a parcouru le Canada pour interviewer des agriculteurs qui modifient diverses pratiques agricoles au sein de leur exploitation afin de tenir compte de l’importance croissante qu’ils accordent à la santé des sols.

Venez rencontrer nos agriculteurs, découvrez leurs efforts et leurs convictions et laissez-vous inspirer. En plus de ces entrevues vidéo, nous avons inclus une série de fiches d’information qui décrivent en détail les diverses pratiques de santé des sols qu’ils utilisent et que vous pouvez également utiliser dans votre propre jardin et vos paysages afin d’être les gardiens d’un sol sain.
