For Partners

Collaborating with organizations across Ontario to move good ideas into the hands of farmers.

Let’s Work Together

The Ontario Soil Network partners with nonprofits, academic institutions, regional programs, and farmer organizations to support peer-led learning across the province.

If your work intersects with soil health, knowledge mobilization, or improving crop production systems—we’d love to hear from you.

Collaboration That Meets Farmers Where They Are

OSN isn’t a top-down project—it’s a grassroots network built by farmers, for farmers.

We work with like-minded partners to bring practical, farmer-informed insights to the forefront. Whether you’re developing a new tool, piloting an idea, or scaling a regional program, OSN helps connect your work with a community that’s ready to test, share, and evolve together.

Through shared events, strategic storytelling, and peer-driven programming, we amplify what works—and we do it with trust at the core.

Farmer Reach & Credibility

150+ producers across Ontario. Trusted peers—not passive participants.

Amplification & Knowledge Mobilization

OSN’s communications infrastructure—podcasts, events, newsletters, and social storytelling—helps great ideas reach more farmers, faster.

Support for Co-Designed Pilots & Events

From the FIRE Program to the Network Challenge, we create grounded, hands-on learning opportunities with our partners—validated by the farmers who live them.

Connect Your Ideas With Farmer-Driven Innovation

The FIRE Program (Farmer Innovation & Research Ecosystem) brings farmers and collaborators together to pilot new ideas, test assumptions, and drive meaningful practice change.

Whether you're a nonprofit, regional program, or researcher, FIRE offers a way to connect with producers who are curious, capable, and committed to trying new things.

But participation in FIRE isn’t automatic. This is a selective, peer-led program. We invite collaboration based on fit, trust, and farmer interest—not top-down agendas.

If you’ve got something promising, we want to hear about it. But we’ll be the ones to call.
