2017 Provincial Research Workshop
ACARN partnered with the BC Agriculture & Food Climate Action Initiative (CAI) to host a workshop on climate change adaptation research in the British Columbia agriculture sector.
The first workshop day focused on knowledge transfer and included a variety of presentations and panel sessions focusing on climate adaptation research, extension and industry engagement. The second day was predominantly focused on the development of climate adaptation research projects.
Primary outcomes from the workshop included:
✔ Early development of ACARN research projects and research teams.
✔ New linkages between academic, government and industry groups involved with climate change adaptation research in BC.
✔ Knowledge transfer on current climate adaptation research projects in BC from a wide range of research disciplines.
✔ Preliminary discussions on methods to enhance climate adaptation research extension and mechanisms to better connect researchers to industry priorities.
✔ Information on potential funding opportunities to support network research projects.
