Sustainable snack company Hippeas and Saskatchewan-based specialty pulse and oat miller Avena Foods Ltd. have announced a collaboration that uses intercropping as the base of their research.
Partnering with Rosengren Farms at Midale, Sask., and the South East Research Farm at Redvers, Sask., which both have more than a decade of intercropping studies, the program will help promote the practice of inter-cropping in agriculture.
“We have been working with Avena as a supplier of our pulses and are so excited to be taking our partnership to new heights with our collaborative regenerative agriculture pilot program,” said Hippeas chief marketing officer Julia Hecht in a news release.
The program seeks to learn the impact of regenerative farming on soil health, biodiversity and nutrient density. The hope is to create a blueprint for farmers.
