Cover Crop Certification for Professionals
2026-01-12 00:00 - 2026-04-13 00:00
Canadian Organic Growers (COG) is proud to offer the Cover Crop Certification for Professionals, an advanced, applied training program designed to strengthen the knowledge and capacity of agronomists, agrologists, Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs), and other agricultural professionals who support farmers in the adoption and management of cover crops.
Cover crops play a critical role in sustainable agriculture; improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, supporting water quality, and increasing climate resilience. Yet, despite their proven benefits, consistent and confident use of cover crops across Canada remains limited. This course addresses that gap by equipping professionals with the technical understanding and applied skills to design, implement, and evaluate successful cover crop systems across diverse Canadian regions and production contexts.
