At SaskSoil, we understand the crucial role soil health plays in sustainable agriculture. By promoting beneficial management practices rooted in science, we aim to help farmers increase profitability while improving soil resilience. Through our website, we offer resources on soil health, cover cropping, rotational grazing, and other sustainable farming practices.

Our organization has a rich history of championing soil health initiatives and actively participating in climate change policies. We are committed to technology transfer and communication activities, ensuring that farmers have access to the latest advancements in soil management techniques.


One of our significant milestones has been the promotion of low-disturbance direct seeding systems (also known as no-till, zero-till or conservation tillage), which have been shown to reduce topsoil erosion, improve soil structure, increase water infiltration, and enhance overall soil health.


Additionally, we have been involved in various contract projects related to carbon sequestration, water management, and soil nutrient management, further solidifying our commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture practices. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern agriculture, it is essential for farmers to prioritize soil health and adopt science-based strategies to optimize production.


By leveraging the wealth of information and resources available on SaskSoil.ca, farmers can enhance productivity, increase profitability, and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural industry.


Join us in our mission to advance agricultural systems that improve the land and environment for future generations. Together, we can pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous farming future.
