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

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
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
