Regenerative Practices
- Minimize soil disturbance
- Permanent grassland A parcel of land composed primarily of herbaceous grasses, including perennials and native plant species, which can be used for grazing, forage, or biomass production.
- Permanent grassland
- Keep the soil covered and maintain living roots year-round
- Maintain living roots year-round (agroforestry and perennials)
- Perennial crops (grasslands) Crops that regrow each year in a specific climate without needing to be reseeded.
- Perennial crops (grasslands)
- Optimize input use
- Manure Manure (also known as livestock manure) is a type of soil amendment rich in nitrogen that integrates soil organic matter back into the soil and feeds the soil food web.
- Minimal to no use of synthetic pesticides Any product, device, organism, substance or thing that is manufactured, represented, sold or used as a means for directly or indirectly controlling, preventing, destroying, mitigating, attracting or repelling any pest (health canada, 2024).\r\nin canada, the most used pesticide active ingredient types are glyphosate, 2,4-d, glufosinate ammonium, and mcpa (all herbicides). then, there are also insecticides and fungicides such as chlorpyrifos, clothianidin, or chlorothalonil.
- Manure
- Integrate animals on the lands and ensure their welfare
- Adaptive multi-paddock grazing Adaptive multi-paddock (amp) grazing is a regenerative grazing system in which livestock are grazed in small paddocks and are moved frequently, resulting in short but intense grazing intervals. the system of multiple small paddocks means that cattle do not circle back to a pasture for a long period of time, allowing for long pasture recovery periods. the word “adaptive” in amp means adapting the duration of livestock on a pasture according to forage availability and the weather, all in the goal of avoiding overgrazing and overstocking.

- Reduction of runoff and erosion (ditch water is clear and clean)
- Presence of a large number of native pollinators
- Improved deep soil structure
- Animal weight gain is excellent, a sign of their well-being in our system
