Call for participants! Centering farmers and ranchers views on carbon markets

The University of Calgary is 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: https://iheid.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bdbfVzFFt72S9Se

This study is supported by a research grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. If you have any questions about it, or your participation, please reach out to:
