Engaging Manitoba’s Agriculture Industry
Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development recently hosted two engagement events, an online survey on Engage MB and a virtual Pre-Federal/Provincial/Territorial (FPT) Minister Industry meeting. The What We Heard Reports from both these events, The Next Policy Framework - Setting Our Priorities and the Ministerial Pre-Federal, Provincial and Territorial Meeting Industry Engagement are now available. The reports reflect the diversity of comments and feedback we have received.
At the upcoming September 2021 Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers of Agriculture meeting the Next Policy Framework priorities will be finalized and Manitoba will sign the Guelph statement. Prior to this important meeting we want to ensure that you have an opportunity to review the what we heard reports and let us know if we missed anything.
We want to know additional ideas or considerations that we need to be aware of prior to Manitoba signing the Guelph statement.

Regenerative agriculture can be enhanced by replacing synthetic fertilizers with natural compost and cover crops.
Compost from household green waste, and commercial food waste from grocery stores and restaurants, can be manufactured on a commercial basis through anerobic in vessel processing. The time frame to produce is 24 hours and can be handled on a large scale, say the city of Brandon or Winnipeg. Enviroclean Landfill Solutions has in vessel capabilities that takes all of the City of Mordens and Morris green waste and turns it into nutrient rich compost in 24 hours, instead of the 14-16 WEEK time frame that windrowing takes. The use of synthetic fertilizers could be drastically reduced and the algae bloom problem in lakes and rivers reduced substantially if natural compost was used in stead
