Farmers and ranchers across Alberta and the Peace region of B.C. are invited to take part in a new survey conducted by the Alberta AgriSystems Living Lab.
The survey is designed to track how the adoption of beneficial management practices (BMPs) has changed since the Living Lab started in 2022.
The results will help program leaders evaluate the impact of the Living Lab and the progress being made on the ground.
Bringing research to reality
Alberta AgriSystems Living Lab has focused on creating partnerships between producers and researchers to demonstrate management practices that improve production and profitability, while benefiting the environment.
Alberta Beef Producers is the lead organization of the Alberta AgriSystems Living Lab, in partnership with crop commissions, other beef organizations, non-governmental groups, research institutions, and other agricultural industry stakeholders.
No one knows the land, production, and challenges better than producers. A Living Lab is a research initiative where the expertise of producers is recognized and valued. The input and hands-on experience from producers is part of the process from the very beginning.

Results from the survey will help inform potential future agri-environmental programming along with related government policy and support. The survey takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Responses can be based on top-of-mind knowledge, and producers do not need to look up records to participate.
Individual responses will remain anonymous and confidential, with results aggregated for reporting purposes. The deadline to complete the survey is March 31, 2026. Fill out the survey.
