BC Research on Climate Change Mitigation in Agriculture
ACARN members have been actively working on research to better understand how best to decrease GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration in the BC agricultural sector.
Welcome to the BC Agricultural Climate Action Research Network
Mission
Foster collaboration among researchers, government, and producers in order to catalyze effective, research-backed climate solutions for B.C. food producers.
Vision
Powered by collaborative scientific research, B.C. food producers implement climate adaptation and mitigation practices that build thriving and resilient food production systems at every scale—locally, regionally and provincially.
