In 2023, alongside Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited, the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), and the Sustainable Food Lab, we launched an innovative pilot program to promote regenerative agriculture in wheat farming. This initiative aims to enhance land stewardship and encourage best management practices among farmers, boosting their resilience and productivity.

Focusing on practices like no-tillage, cover crops, and split nitrogen application, the program also provides technical assistance, network building, financial support, and data collection for farmers embarking on regenerative agriculture. This initiative highlights our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing, being an enabler to promote regenerative agriculture in our supply chain.

We look forward to applying the learnings from this wheat pilot to additional farmers in this growing region and creating new regenerative projects for other crops.
