Rethinking the Value of Marginal Cropland

  • Bridge to Land Water Sky Online Canada (map)

Marginal land is often characterized as low yielding due to salinity, moisture issues or poor soils and is generally unprofitable. Our team is working to locate the marginal land across the prairies through a combination of producer combine yield data and satellite imagery.

Armed with precision data, we are working with producers to better manage these lands with perennial plantings and measuring the changes in soil health, carbon storage, biodiversity, and economics over time.

The goal is to provide options for maximizing the profitability and productivity of the land while capturing ecosystem service gains.
