LEADS supports the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) on farms within the Lake Erie and Lake St Clair watersheds. Cost-share levels are determined by the risks identified through the completion of a Farmland Health Check-Up.
- LEADS will target the Lake Erie watershed to address the following priorities: reducing nutrient loss, in particular, phosphorus from agriculture production within Ontario's Lake Erie watershed; improving soil health of farmland; providing co-benefits for enhancing pollinator habitat and building resilience to climate change while strengthening the sustainability of the agriculture sector.
