Sasha Loewen is a research associate at the University of Manitoba in Canada where he researches precision agriculture and agroecology. Sasha grew up on a conventional, then organic, grain farm in south east Manitoba, where he still helps grow hemp, oats, and wheat among other crops. Sasha completed a PhD in Ecology and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University studying the use of precision agricultural tools in organic grain systems. Sasha returned to Winnipeg to work in the Natural Systems Agriculture Lab where he is a science advisor to the Canadian Food Grains Bank on their nature-based agronomy work in east Africa, and also pursues precision agroecology research, like weed mapping with drones, on Manitoba farms.
