Meet Rebecca Harbut and Mike Bomford from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) in Richmond, BC—prime examples of on-the-ground regenerative trailblazers. Now, you might wonder, how do university professors fit the description of being 'on the ground'? Well, KPU isn't just any university: it boasts a farm that lies at the heart of Rebecca and Mike's endeavours.
Moreover, with Canada's population nearing the 40 million mark, farm and ranch operators, along with farm labourers, represent a mere fraction—around 1%—of the populace. The takeaway here? It's going to require a collective effort, involving many of us outside the traditional farming community, to partner with that crucial 1%. This collaboration is key to expanding regenerative agriculture from a niche practice to a widespread one.
Join Rural Routes to Climate Solutions for interviews of Canadian regenerative farmers, delving into the importance of supporting an agricultural system that not only prioritizes the health of our land and ecosystems, but also ensures the sustainability of our farmers and ranchers.
