Ontario farmers will be able to play a role in finding sustainable solutions to environmental issues.

The federal government will provide $4.2 million to launch Living Lab – Ontario in the Lake Erie region.

Led by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), Living Lab – Ontario collaborators will include farmers, agricultural and conservation organizations, and scientists from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and other federal departments.

The research will focus on reducing the soil and nutrient runoff from agricultural land into Lake Erie, improving water quality, conserving soil health, and increasing biodiversity on agricultural lands in Ontario.

They will share their expertise with farmers across Canada to help accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices and technologies.
