A Canadian researcher is in the process of developing a network to support emissions reductions in agriculture.
Dr. Karen Foster, a professor in Dalhousie University’s department of sociology and social anthropology, received $1.9 million in funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to lead this national research network.
“It’s a network of primarily social scientists and humanities researchers,” she told Farms.com. “AAFC keeps bumping into questions about emissions reductions that are very social, or political or cultural, and not the things they’re working on with natural scientists.”
