Darrin Qualman shares his thoughts and insights about how the Canadian farming community can manage their nitrogen use by gearing down the treadmill and at the end of day maybe even putting a few more dollars in their pockets rather than the input provider’s.
Darrin is Director of Climate Crisis Policy and Action for Canada’s National Farmers Union. He is a former farmer and the author of the 2019 report Tackling the Farm Crisis and the Climate Crisis and the 2019 book Civilization Critical: Energy, Food, Nature, and the Future. His research, writing, and educational pursuits over the past 25 years have all aimed at creating a long-term, big-picture view of food, farming, and energy systems. He is active in social justice and food system struggles and has helped organize many campaigns, including the successful struggle to prevent the introduction of genetically modified wheat into Canada. He has academic degrees in history, biology, and political studies.
