Rather than specializing in one commodity, farms using this model work with nature’s interconnected systems to build resilience and sustainability while producing a variety of foods for local markets.
This holistic method has gained traction across Ontario as farmers recognize the limits of single-crop operations and seek more economically stable, environmentally sound alternatives. Encompass …
