Regenerative agriculture offers immense potential to combat climate change by harnessing the power of healthy soils to sequester atmospheric carbon. Through practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and holistic grazing management, farmers can rebuild soil organic matter, boost biodiversity, and lock away carbon for the long-term.
Alberta is poised to be a leader in this vital movement. With millions of acres of agricultural land and a community of innovative producers, the province has the scale and ingenuity to make a meaningful difference. By transitioning to regenerative methods, Alberta farmers can not only mitigate …

Soil structure and microbiome functions are the backbone of sustainable agroecosystems. Soil health is critical for optimizing crop yields, enhancing nutrient cycling, and building climate resilience. The complex interactions between soil physical properties, chemical composition, and diverse microbial communities drive essential processes like organic matter decomposition, nutrient mineralization, and plant growth promotion. Understanding and harnessing these intricate relationships is key to developing regenerative agricultural practices that prioritize long-…
