An Alberta farm northwest of Edmonton is incorporating regenerative agricultural practices to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Midmore Farm is part of the Regenerative Alberta Living lab, which brings together farmers and scientists to address several agricultural and environmental issues. An Alberta farm northwest of Edmonton is incorporating regenerative agricultural practices to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The practice will become increasingly important with climate change leading to more intense weather events like droughts and floods. They also plant forage crops like alfalfa and sweet clover as both a cover crop over the winter months, and is used as green manure. "Regenerative agriculture is something that people often don't think about as being a means of fighting climate change, as a means of cleaning up the environment," said Brian Lanoil, professor of microbiology at the University of Alberta.
