The ecological management plan at the Alaksen National Wildlife Area (ANWA) is unique and as such, it provides a diverse set of challenges for successful and ecologically-sound agricultural production within the wildlife area. ANWA is one of a few wildlife reserves in North America that utilize agricultural production to provide habitat. This site however, is a particularly challenging location for agricultural production given the climate, soils, and drainage. ANWA farmers are now being asked to eliminate the use of conventional pesticides and other deleterious practices (i.e. utilize organic-regenerative methods), which introduces additional complexities/challenges for farming at this site. Resident farmers are hesitant to adopt organic-regenerative farming methods due to concerns of viability (i.e., economic and methodological). This indicates a clear need to provide ANWA managers and farmers scientific guidance on how best to address the challenges of farming ANWA lands using organic-regenerative methods in ways that also support the wildlife habitat provision objectives of the wildlife area.
Over the last four farming seasons agricultural scientists have evaluated the particular conditions and challenges impacting crop production at ANWA, as well as the crop rotation. They have conducted small-plot level studies to determine the feasibility of utilizing organic-regenerative farming methods. ANWA farmers have been apprised of the results, they are increa...
