Adaptive Multi-paddock Grazing Workshop

ALUS Canada, A Weston Family Initiative, is a national program dedicated to supporting farmers and ranchers who produce cleaner air, cleaner water, more biodiversity and other ecosystem services in their communities. As a recentAlberta EmeraldandClean50award winner—and ranked among the exclusive Clean16—ALUS Canadais a recognized leader in sustainability that is rapidly expanding: There are currently 21 ALUS communities in six provinces, with more than 15,500 projects, 700 participants and 18,000 acres enrolled in ALUS. With support from ALUS, farmers and ranchers establish wetlands, native prairie, pollinator habitat and other projects on select acres of their land, and manage these projects going forward. With support from growing numbers of sources, includingNew Acre Project,ALUS will continue to grow, creating a healthy landscape that sustains agriculture, wildlife and natural spaces for all Canadians, one acre at a time!

We want to hear your ideas and opinions on adaptive multi-paddock grazing!

We would like to hear from ranchers!The University of Alberta has been conducting studies on the benefits of Adaptive Multi-paddock Grazing (AMP) in terms of agricultural greenhouse gases, environmental benefits, and benefits to agricultural operations. Please see the article found <a href="https://www.scientia.global/dr-mark-boyce-adapting-grassland-grazing-to-boost-carbon-sequestration/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> for a glimpse into their study. A future stage of their study will be the development of protocols for AMP grazing which could be used to advance payment for ecosystem services markets like ALUS or offset programs. The University of Alberta team would like the feedback of ranchers before embarking on this process and you have been recommended as a workshop participant. We hope that you will be able to join us virtually for an open discussion. Your active participation in the workshop will help U of A ensure their study results are relevant to the agricultural community. Agenda:1. Introductions, Welcome, and Housekeeping2. University of Alberta: Presentation on the AMP study and preliminary results3.
