In this episode of Landlines, our last of 2025, Boyd chats with well-known organic farmer, Sally Bernard. It’s a great interview and a wonderful, hopeful way to wrap up our first busy season of our podcast.

Thanks for listening. If you haven’t yet, please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel and sharing our podcasts with friends and neighbours. It’s one of the many easy ways we can continue to raise awareness about land issues here in PEI.

If you are interested in organic and/or regenerative agriculture and their effects on our environment, economy and ultimately, our future well-being, you will want to tune in to this episode of Landlines. Local organic farmer, Sally Bernard, who was awarded the Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarship in 2024, shares her expertise, her new perspectives and some pretty innovative solutions to major problems after visiting farms in the global south as part of her research. It’s always refreshing to hear Sally’s balanced and hopeful views on farming and how the way we farm has the potential to greatly enhance the world we live in.

Thanks to Chris Ortenburger for sharing this article in her Citizens’ Alliance newsletter this morning, along with these comments: “There is so much in that interview that brings up more questions for the Minister and Premier: must all land be in “production”? where is good Land Use Planning? (notice that may not be the same as Where is the Land Use Plan? ;-) where is the IRAC report on the Kings County land holdings that former Environment and former Lands and Community minister Stephen Myers set in motion? Why can’t the Land Department keep track of land? Why have IRAC in charge of this when her government has announced it is set to break up IRAC and there will certainly be a lot of transition? And things not addressed here: What about non-profit land protection organizations like Island Nature Trust? (this has been addressed elsewhere with a wave of the hand, but it would be good if the minister recognised this clearly) Why are agriculture giants not addressed, but non-profits? How easy will it be to work around this law? Have they thought that far in the future? This also feels like a use of a lot of government legislative writing time that could be spent on other promised legislation
