I guess I'll take that one.
I wouldn't describe it as just traditional farming techniques, because organic farming is very intentional about using crop rotations, designing systems to avoid pest pressure, and building healthy soils in a sustainable way. When we first moved out to the Prairies, for example, the soils were very rich, and you could kind of take advantage of that fertility. Now you can't. That's not there anymore. We need to have programs in place that really encourage soil building. This comes back to encouraging longer rotation systems.
P.E.I. has a crop rotation act that requires three-year crop rotations for special crops. We can also introduce requirements for legumes and incentives for growing legumes, especially perennial forages. If there's one thing that shows you can improve soil quality, it's including perennial forages in your cropping system for two or three years.
