A federal program backing research into farm-level technologies and practices that limit farms’ greenhouse gas emissions has been extended for another five-year run.
Ottawa will put $27 million into the next phase of the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program, which gave out $21 million in funding to 18 projects in the first five-year phase.
Among those projects were studies on silvopasture (combining forestry and grazing in a single area), manure injection systems, dairy cattle feeding strategies, anaerobic digesters, nutrient management and on-farm tools to assess and manage nitrogen emissions.
