Description
This project aims to support Newfoundland and Labrador agriculture producers by sustainably enhancing production in the island’s notoriously rocky, nutrient-poor soils and Labrador’s low organic sandy soils, including further distributing funds to Ultimate Recipients for the adoption and on-farm implementation of eligible beneficial management practices (BMP) and overseeing and monitoring the progress of the activities undertaken by these Ultimate Recipients;
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à appuyer les producteurs agricoles de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador en améliorant de façon durable la production agricole dans les sols notoirement rocheux et pauvres en nutriments de l’île, ainsi que dans les sols sableux à faible teneur en matière organique du Labrador. Le projet prévoit également la redistribution de fonds aux bénéficiaires ultimes pour la mise en œuvre à la ferme de pratiques de gestion bénéfiques (PGB) admissibles , ainsi que la supervision et le suivi de l’avancement des activités menées par ces bénéficiaires ultimes.
Expected Results
To support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices (BMPs) that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases in three areas: nitrogen management, cover cropping and rotational grazing practices.
Expected Results (French)
Aider les agriculteurs à adopter des pratiques de gestion bénéfiques (PGB) qui stockent le carbone et réduisent les gaz à effet de serre dans trois domaines : la gestion de l'azote, les cultures de couverture et les pratiques de pâturage en rotation.

Program Name (French)
Le programme Solutions agricoles pour le climat
Program Purpose
The Agricultural Climate Solutions is a multi-stream program that will help to develop and implement farming practices to tackle climate change. Through agricultural practices, such as shelterbelts or cover crops, farmland can store carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Program Purpose (French)
Le programme multi-composantes Solutions Agricoles pour le Climat contribuera à l'élaboration et à la mise en oeuvre de pratiques agricoles visant à lutter contre le changement climatique. Grâce à des pratiques agricoles telles que les plantations brise-vent ou les cultures de couverture, les terres agricoles peuvent stocker du carbone et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
