Ready… set… GROW! The Future Farmer Mission is HERE!

Farmers across Canada work really hard to grow the food we eat and care for the animals on their farms.

The land farmers work on is so important. They care for it to ensure the soil, water, air, and all living things stay healthy. Farmers use a special method called “regenerative agriculture” to do this. This method is known as a ‘climate-smart’ way of farming because it helps the land (by improving soil health), fights climate change (by absorbing greenhouse gases), and increases biodiversity (which means lots of different plants and animals can live and grow).

Are you ready to be a future farmer?

You can help make healthy soil right at home. Start a small vegetable or herb garden that nourishes you and the earth!

It’s time to get growing!

Join the “Future Farmer” Mission to learn about regenerative agriculture practices and how to start your own garden.

In this Mission, you will explore how regenerative agriculture helps strengthen the soil and all living things on our planet. You’ll then put what you’ve learned into action! Next, you’ll plant your seeds or seedlings and then choose one or more methods to create your very own regenerative garden.

To complete this Mission, you must…

Learn about regenerative agriculture and how it helps our planet.
Become a regenerative farmer: get your soil ready, pick your seeds, and choose a regenerative agriculture method. You could cover your soil with mulch, add water, or welcome specific wildlife to your garden.
Share: Find ways to share what you grow — and what you’ve learned about regenerative agriculture.
Show us: Open the Mission in the app when you’re done and let us know how you did — don’t forget to share a photo of you completing your Mission!

Ready… set… GROW!
