U of C Call for Farmer Views on Carbon Markets
Centring Farmers and Ranchers Views on Carbon Markets
University of Calgary researchers are conducting a social science research study examining how greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, carbon sequestration efforts, carbon offset projects, and other climate-focused programs are being introduced within Alberta’s agricultural and livestock sectors.
They are seeking participation from farmers and ranchers who can share their experiences, perspectives, and insights on carbon offset or mitigation programs—whether you have taken part in these initiatives or have been affected by them in any way. Your contributions will help improve understanding of how climate-related policies and programs are shaping agricultural practice, and how they are experienced by farming and ranching communities in Alberta.
If you are an Albertan Rancher or Farmer, and are interested in participating, please fill out this survey:

This study is supported by a research grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation.
