Led by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), in partnership with FoodBridge, Ontario Soil Network, a major Canadian lender, and corporate buyers, this project works with farmers in southern Ontario. By integrating financial incentives into standard agricultural loan products, the project aims to support farmers for adopting proven practices such as cover crops and advanced nutrient management that protect downstream water quality.
