Environment and Climate Guidebooks for BC Regional Extension Program

2023

As part of BC’s Regional Extension Program, ACARN collaborated with the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food to compile producers’ climate priorities, relevant applied research, and extension projects across BC —resulting in seven regional guidebooks.

These guidebooks can help producers, researchers, and consultants reflect on the climate issues challenging environmental sustainability and resilient food production for and local farm businesses.

Each guidebook includes:

✔ An overview producer priorities and why they are important in the region

✔ An inventory of relevant applied research and extension projects

✔ Beneficial management practices and work that can be built on to address priorities

✔ Current funding programs associated with each priority area

✔ Current provincial tools

Agrologists look for root nodules in an inoculated leguminous cover crop on a ranch in the Kootenay-Boundary region. Producer needs vary across British Columbia’s seven agricultural regions, emphasizing the importance of targeted extension and applied research.
