This report provides a systemic overview of the state and potential future of regenerative agriculture in Canada. Regenerative agriculture consists of farming that supports life on land – e.g., prioritizing soil health, planting native seeds, protecting faunae and flora, or avoiding harmful chemicals. The biodiversity loss and climate crises are realities that hit every Canadian. The impacts of these crises on agriculture are immense: from soil degradation, lower yields and exports, to food safety. Conversely, agriculture has a tremendous effect on biodiversity loss and climate change; as one of the largest carbon emitting sectors nationwide, the industry could contribute more to the transition toward a green economy, notably through nature-based solutions.

The Clearview Sustainability Network is actively working to support the transition to more sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices in this predominantly agricultural region of Ontario. Through partnerships with local organizations, researchers, and farmers, CSN is fostering collaboration to implement innovative, ecologically sound farming
methods.

Education is at the heart of our efforts, offering workshops, field demonstrations, and expert-led discussions to share knowledge on soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Additionally, the network provides resources such as funding opportunities, technical support, and policy guidance to help farmers adopt regenerative techniques that enhance productivity while preserving the land for future generations.
