New rural-urban partnership launched to protect water quality and support Ontario agriculture
A new rural-urban partnership was launched to protect water quality in the Grand River Watershed and support the sustainable intensification of agriculture in the region. A unique network to facilitate sharing of Best Management Practices (BMP) guidelines will be created with the program. The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program will suport the adoption of BMP on farms. The 4R concept guides farmers in using the Right fertilizer source, at theRight rate, at the Right time, and in the Right place.
