Agroecology research by agriculture and agri-food
In many regions of Canada, the footprint of agriculture is increasing. This often results in excessive losses of wildlife habitat and biodiversity, increases in GHG emissions and carbon losses, and degradation of water quality and soil resources. This project aims at conserving, protecting and valuing natural features, such as riparian zones, wetlands, woodlots and vegetated fence lines, in order to make agro-ecosystems more resilient to environmental and anthropogenic changes.
