Solar farming revolutionizes modern agriculture by merging food production with renewable energy generation through the concept of agrivoltaics. Across Alberta’s vast farmlands, innovative farmers are discovering that harvesting sunlight can be just as profitable as harvesting crops. By mounting solar panels above active agricultural land, producers simultaneously generate clean electricity and maintain productive farming operations, creating two revenue streams from the same acreage. This dual-use approach addresses the growing pressure on agricultural land …

Organic Farming’s Hidden Impact on Animal Welfare in Alberta
Organic farming revolutionizes Canadian agriculture by working in harmony with natural ecosystems while meeting our growing food demands. From the rolling prairies of Alberta to the fertile valleys of British Columbia, farmers are discovering that organic methods not only protect our soil and water resources but also often match or exceed conventional yields. Recent studies from the University of Alberta demonstrate that organic farms support 30% more biodiversity and sequester up to 25% more carbon than their conventional counterparts. Yet, the environmental impact of organic farming extends beyond these immediate benefits. As we face …
