Join FarmFolk CityFolk for an evening about beneficial management practices you can use on your farm. Cover cropping can help to build soil, sequester carbon, increase and improve crop yields and create a diversified ecosystem where plants and animals can thrive. Reserve your spot!

Cover cropping is a sustainable agricultural practice that involves planting crops specifically to improve soil health, increase climate adaptability and promote climate mitigation. Cover crops are grown primarily for the benefits they provide to the soil and the ecosystem and, when carefully chosen and managed, can be hugely beneficial to farmers. Benefits include protecting the soil from erosion, suppressing weeds, reducing soil compaction, increasing soil organic matter, improving soil structure, increasing soil water-holding capacity, and enhancing nutrient cycling. In addition, cover crops can provide a habitat for beneficial insects, such as pollinators and predators of pests.

Farmers are invited to join FarmFolk CityFolk online, watch a virtual tour of Kalala Organic Estate Winery and participate in a Q&A with our farm host, Karnail Singh Sidhu, and Dr. Mehdi Sharifi, Research Scientist for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
