COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH FOR PRODUCER ADAPTATION – BC Agriculture and Climate Change Education Series

Standard

 BC Agriculture and Climate Change Education Series – Third Module

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH FOR PRODUCER ADAPTATION

Dr. Sean Smukler, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, UBC 

Thursday March 14th – 6.30pm-8.30pm

Orchard Commons Room (ORCH) 3074, third floor (6363 Agronomy Rd) – UBC campus

In this third module, Prof. Smukler will explain the role of research in supporting producer adaptation to climate change and the importance of using a collaborative (or transdisciplinary) approach to address these complex challenges in agriculture systems. Dr. Smukler will draw on his past research to showcase the need for collaboration between cross sector experts working in agriculture production and research, and will highlight work being done by the BC Agricultural Climate Adaptation Research Network (ACARN) to strengthen linkages between academic, government and industry groups. Following this presentation, participants will have an opportunity to learn about real climate change research questions that are facing the industry today and explore the expertise required to effectively address them.

During the session, we will access to the Slido platform to facilitate questions and undertake interactive polls; please bring a smartphone or laptop with you. Light snacks and drinks are provided previous to the event. Registration is free at claudia.paez@ubc.ca

Please spread the word, everybody is welcome!

The Education Series is a joint endeavor with the BC Agricultural Climate Adaptation Research Network (ACARN) and the BC Ministry of Agriculture, and is hosted in collaboration with six education institutions across the province –UBC Vancouver & Okanagan; UNBC Prince George & Terrace; KPU Richmond; TRU Kamloops; NLC Fort St. John; UFV Abbotsford.
