A financial contribution from Cargill will help the Peace Region Living Lab strengthen its on-farm innovation and research activities and sharing events.
The program is part of a federal initiative and network of living labs across Canada, which uses a producer centred approach to agricultural innovation.
It brings together farmers and ranchers with scientists and commodity groups to develop and test innovative practices and technologies focused on mitigating and adapting to climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Other environmental benefits include protecting soil and water quality and maximizing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
