Living Lab New Brunswick Digs into Soil Health

Living Lab New Brunswick (LLNB) is digging in to demonstrate the impact of healthy soils.

Initiated in 2022, the five-year Living Lab New Brunswick project consists of 25 sites around the province. It’s part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) Agricultural Climate Solutions – Living Labs (ACS-LL), a $185-million program launched in 2021. 

The New Brunswick farm sites test beneficial management practices (BMPs) being developed in the living lab to sequester carbon and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on farms in the following focus areas: 

• enhanced pasture management 
• enhanced forage management 
• advanced nutrient management 
• advanced cropping systems 
• enhanced landscape functionality 

Each focus area is practiced on five farms with one farm field chosen as the testing plot and further broken down into different practices being tested. The solutions from this project are expected to help protect biodiversity on farms, improve water and soil quality and, through the efficient management of resources, strengthening farmers' bottom lines. 

Soil Your T-Shirt

Getting their hands dirty, LLNB launched Soil Your T-Shirt in early June. Staff and site contractors buried over 25 100% cotton T-shirts at living lab sites throughout the province. The sites represent the innovation and scientific research activities into healthy soil with the goal of comparing different BMPs to visually measure differences in soil health. The T-shirts will be dug up in early August and examined – a degraded T-shirt means significant bacterial activity, which is an indicator of healthy soil.

Activities like Soil Your T-shirt bring soil science to life, showing the tangible effects of sustainable practices. The degraded T-shirts are a reminder of the foundational role that soil health plays in supporting a resilient, sustainable future for farming and a healthier planet.

The Farm Resilience Mentorship (FaRM) Program, an initiative of Farmers for Climate Solutions, is excited to host a webinar with Dr. David Burton, FCS’ Scientific Advisor and Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University. Together, we will dive deeper into nitrogen management BMPs, and the impact that they could have on building on-farm resilience and reducing emissions.
