ALUS Canada

ALUS Canada partners with farmers across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond to create habitat and restore ecosystems on agricultural land. The organization pays farmers for specific conservation practices that improve water quality, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon while maintaining food production. By working with landowners to implement projects like wetland restoration, native plant buffers, and pollinator corridors, ALUS addresses food security through environmental stewardship. Farmers receive annual payments for maintaining these conservation areas, creating economic incentives for sustainable agriculture. The work helps protect the soil and water systems that support agricultural productivity, linking land health directly to the long-term viability of food systems in the region.
