Canada: Environmental research helps fruit, vegetable and flower growers

An Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) research project on environmental best practices will give Ontario fruit, vegetable, and flower growers the information they need to make environmentally-conscious decisions on water and nutrient use in their operations.

The "Calculating Environmental Sustainability Metrics for Ontario Horticultural Production Systems" project has shown that not all horticulture production systems have similar environmental challenges and that a "one size fits all" approach will not necessarily work.

"This project will allow farmers to use a whole-farm approach when choosing best management practices," says project manager Donna Speranzini.
