Around 2 million tons of pesticides are sprayed on our fields every year. This is killing our bees and biodiversity, but we have a chance to stop it. Join the call! Sign & RT secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/sa…

Transplanting of tomatoes and peppers is underway. These plants will grow for approximately 3 weeks in these pots before going out to be planted in the soil. #greenhouse #westcdnag

When plants become infected with a “pathogen” it generally has very little to do with the presence of the bacteria or fungus which is infected the plant. It has everything to do with other organisms present in the microbiome capable of suppressing them. buff.ly/2NrJx6H

Only 1% of $700B a year given to #farmers is used to benefit the #environment. Most of it is for high-emission cattle production, forest destruction and air pollution. A new report found producing #healthy, #sustainable food would actually cut food prices. bit.ly/32UfN89

@AgrSolutionsInc @MochaCabanaCafe @MansOrganics @organicbox The real question is are the Lethbridge soil labs represented at the course?

Pesticides to control pests is a faulty system. A healthy soil built with cover crops means less bugs. Fascinating! peerj.com/articles/4428/…

This farmer has been doing #notill for decades, but wanted to push even further so started to get into #covercrops. Just because something is working doesn't mean it couldn't work better - we always have more to learn! bit.ly/2Vf4aFI
