ABP looking for Peace Country ranchers for a living labs research project

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is looking for ranchers from the Peace Country to take part in its living labs research project.

Living labs include producer expertise and ABP wants to look at best practices for climate resiliency.

Lead in beef production and extension Karin Schmid said there are several ways ranchers can help.

“This would be helpful for us if they’re interested in potentially obtaining data on the impacts of a practice change, validating how certain practices might improve productivity and/or profitability or environmental benefits, maybe even explore the integration of crop and livestock production systems,” Schmid said.
