Balancing Act: Climate Action in Agriculture
Climate action in agriculture is a balancing act 🌎 ⚖️
With climate change tipping the scales for agriculture, achieving resilience means both adapting to the impacts of past emissions and minimizing those of the future. And, as ACARN knows well, tackling these challenges requires a collective effort – no single group can address them alone.
Agricultural Data Collection Protocols Conference
We hosted this two-day conference to make progress towards defining collective approaches for measuring soil organic carbon, greenhouse gas emissions and co-benefits in BC agricultural production systems.
The workshop was designed to showcase the common research approaches that will provide a framework for the BC Living Lab and to build connections with provincial government initiatives and other aligned projects. Find all sessions below.
Greenhouse gas mitigation research summaries for BC agricultural commodities
To support the work of the BC Living Lab, ACARN conducted a scan of recent research that addresses practices to help mitigate climate change. We produced mitigation research summaries for seven production systems.
These documents provide a high-level overview of recent, primarily BC-based, published research and research in progress investigating agricultural management practices with potential to mitigate climate change.
