About this episode

This episode discusses the practical implications of sustainability in agriculture with Carlos Romero from Nutrien Ag Solutions.

Sustainability is talked about everywhere these days, but what does it actually mean for agriculture? In this episode, we sit down with Carlos Romero, Senior Sustainability Manager at Nutrien Ag Solutions, to break it down in practical terms. For Carlos, sustainability isn't abstract, it's good agronomy that works both economically and environmentally. They discuss how Canadian farmers are putting this into practice through 4R Nutrient Stewardship and no-till farming, and how Nutrien is helping scale those efforts through its FarmSmart programs. From supporting large-scale nitrogen initiatives to helping growers access sustainable incentives, this episode explores how sustainability is measured, rewarded and expanded across Western Canadian agriculture.
