Climate-Smart Organic Grain Production: Organic Science in the Making

2026-03-10

Climate-smart farming is becoming increasingly important for Canadian producers. Dr. Martin Entz is studying nitrous oxide emissions and soil carbon in side-by-side organic and conventional cropping systems.

Climate-smart farming is becoming increasingly important for Canadian producers.

Dr. Martin Entz is studying nitrous oxide emissions and soil carbon in side-by-side organic and conventional cropping systems. His research also looks at how different legume management systems can help reduce nitrous oxide emissions while improving nitrogen use efficiency.

In this episode, we head to the Glenlea research plots in Manitoba to explore what this long-term climate-smart research means for farmers and the future of sustainable crop production.

This podcast series was originally released as the film series Captured on Film: Organic Science in the Making. You can find links to the films – and more information about all the research activities - on the Organic Science Cluster 4 website. That’s Organic-Science-Canada.ca

Organic Science Cluster 4 is an industry-led research and development endeavour co-managed by the Organic Federation of Canada and the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada at Dalhousie University and supported by the AgriScience Program under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership together with over 80 funding partners.
