The Alberta Regenerative Living Lab (ARLL) initiative is led by the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) and Food Water Wellness Foundation (FWWF). TRI is a partner organization, providing guidance on good practices related to weaving Indigenous ways of knowing and other approaches to help advance the goals of the Living Lab.
Launched in 2021, Agricultural Climate Solutions — Living Labs is a program that will allow Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) to build and strengthen a nationwide network of living labs over 10 years.
Each living lab brings together farmers, scientists, and other sector stakeholders to co-develop and test innovative technologies and on-farm practices to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and sequester carbon in real-world conditions.
The mission of the ARLL is to create an innovation project supported by research that will enable an accelerated response to climate change through the rapid and widespread adoption of new agricultural practices and technologies. This project will co-create a space that is inclusive, that acknowledges and validates good management practices already being implemented, and that inspires and motivates producers and scientists towards practices that increase sustainability and resiliency on Alberta farms and ranches.
