79% Informative

Droughts are drying up fields, shrinking yields and mounting losses for farmers.

Investing in grassland conservation can be one of the cheapest ways to reduce the risk of drought on Canadian farms.

Grasslands capture, store and filter precious water resources in the Prairies through their deep roots.

They recharge groundwater by absorbing and infiltrating rainwater, providing clean drinking water for thousands of communities.
