SSMPA IS GOING NORTH…

This program brings together producers in the Yukon to build practical knowledge and skills around soil health, forage production, and grazing management. It is designed to support producers at any scale who are working to improve pasture productivity, build healthier soils, and integrate livestock into their land management — with a particular focus on the northern context and on land that has been converted from forest to agricultural production.

The program consists of four events:

• A primer webinar in mid-May 2026 to establish a baseline of soil health knowledge in the Yukon context

• A full-day in-person field day near Whitehorse on Saturday, June 13, 2026

• Two follow-up webinars later in 2026 to deepen the learning

  
  The program is delivered by the Small-Scale Meat Producers Association (SSMPA) in partnership with Farmers for Climate Solutions' FaRM Resilience Mentorship Program, the Yukon Government Agriculture Branch and the Yukon Agricultural Association. It is funded by the Climate Agri-Solutions Fund. Funding for the Climate Agri-Solutions Fund has been provided by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund.
