Nature-based solutions delivered by farmers
Annette, ALUS Northern Sunrise
ALUS creates new acres of nature on farmland, for the benefit of all Canadians.
Farmer-led conservation
Not all farmland is equally productive. Some areas are marginal, difficult to farm, uneconomic, or simply not suited to conventional production.
Through ALUS, farmers steward these landscapes by working with nature to improve water quality, enhance habitat, and strengthen ecosystems, while supporting resilient farm operations and thriving communities.

How ALUS works
ALUS is voluntary, locally delivered, and designed to fit the realities of farm operations.
1. Farmers identify marginal land and nature-based solutions for that land
Areas that are difficult or inefficient to farm.
2. Stewardship projects are evaluated locally
Farmers and community members make decisions on projects based on local priorities and landscapes.
3. ALUS provides long-term support
Farmers receive payments and technical support to deliver measurable benefits for ecosystems, communities, and agricultural landscapes.
