Living Lab-Ontario: Making a Conservation Farming System Work

For Henry Denotter “it is all about the water”.  Henry will discuss his no-till practices, cropping systems and equipment modifications that he uses to reduce water quality impacts and improve his soil health and crop yields. Henry will be joined by researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the ONFARM project who will share results of the various studies conducted on his farm.

Learn how Henry is improving soil health, reducing water quality impacts and increasing biodiversity on his farm. Henry will discuss his tillage methods and crop rotations along with his equipment modifications. Researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Living Lab Ontario project and the ONFARM project will share water quality and field trial results. Researchers will take us below the soil surface and explain what is going on below the field in the soil pit.

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.
