Farmers and ranchers are the largest private landowner group in Canada. In addition to providing food for millions of Canadians, farmland can benefit ecosystems through carbon sequestration, water filtration, and by providing habitats for many species. Managing a farm or ranch as a part of a functioning watershed or landscape helps maintain key ecological functions such as pollination, water filtration and storage, nutrient storing and cycling, soil building, and erosion control.
