BC growers have told us they need practical, local research that’s easy to access and easy to understand. With fewer extension services available, it can be hard to find clear information that supports on‑farm decisions.
That’s why we’re working with the BC Agricultural Climate Action Research Network (ACARN) and the BC Food Web to take peer‑reviewed, regional studies and turn them into short, plain‑language research briefs growers can use right away. These briefs help strengthen knowledge transfer in BC’s fruit sectors by making science more accessible.
And today, we’re excited to share the first three briefs in this new series!
