The Extension and Support Services Branch is delivering Regional Extension Projects and other programs to help producers focus on climate adaptation, climate mitigation and environmental sustainability. The ability to adopt practices on farm that meet the broader Ministry goals can help with the resiliency, profitability, and long-term sustainability of farms and ranches.
Research indicates that farmer-led programs in Canada and around the world can help improve the quality and increase the uptake of practices.

The purpose of this contract is to:
- Increase farmer-led research projects happening in the Central Interior Region and access to information to support informed decision making.

- Integrate on-farm demonstration with these Ministry initiatives: Soil Health Assessment Protocol Pilot, Soils 101 Module on Tillage and BMPs.
