Producer Perspectives on Beneficial Management Practices
In 2023, ACARN supported the BC Living Lab with the development and distribution of a survey to BC producers. The survey explored growers’ awareness of and interest in Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) and collected insights across seven major agricultural commodities.
These survey reports summarize the first phase of a project to assess factors driving the adoption of BMPs in the BC Living Lab.
Each survey summary includes:
✔ Description of the BMPs each commodity group selected to trial in the BC Living Lab
✔ Producer perspectives on climate change and the environmental benefits of BMPs
✔ An overview of conventional practices in use, BMPs in use, and interest in integrating BMPs
✔ Insights into motivations to implement BMPs and barriers to adoption
