[Senator Rob Black, P. Ag. (Hon) @SenatorRobBlack]

The Greenbelt Foundation recently released their Regional Soil Health Report that reflects on-farm data from 264 fields across the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The report echoed what the #AGFO report found: reducing tillage and adding cover crops, and other regenerative practices, are improving soil health and resiliency. Soils help support farmers as they combat the many challenges they face every year! It is great to see this report detailing why #SoilHealthMatters. Read the report here: https://t.co/ZV3MeOmyRu

Agricultural soils are one of the Greenbelt's greatest carbon sinks! With @soil_institute, we're measuring carbon stocks and learning how farm practices & soil types impact carbon stored. Excited to be featured in @NatObserver discussing our program w insights from Barb Parker🌱

@greenbeltca Excited to continue hearing your stories, @RCarlow 👏👏👏

[Canadian Climate Institute @ClimateInstit]

Extreme weather fueled by climate change is making life more expensive in 🇨🇦. New @InsuranceBureau data shows severe weather in 2023 caused over $3.1 billion in insured damage. And when it comes to the costs of climate change, insured losses are just one part of the story🧵#cdnpoli

[Megan Sipos @siposmeg]

Honoured to present at @SenateCA alongside @Otipemisiwak. We highlighted recommendations from @greenbeltca's work on soil health and emphasized how Ontario's greenbelt serves as an exemplary model for farmland protection. #OntAg #AGFO

@NatureBasedSols NbS are an important aspect of climate justice as they address underlying drivers of risk.

[Megan Sipos @siposmeg]

🌿Thrilled to be featured in @CDNJEM! Our research examines the role of #NatureBasedSolutions in mitigating flood risk while providing several co-benefits. 🙏Grateful CJEM provides a space to discuss the interconnection of climate change, ecosystem loss & emergency management.
