13. Sources of information for farmers' adaptation practices in Canada's Prairie agro-ecosystem; A letter

Subjects
Agricultural conservation -- Management, Climatic changes -- Control, Environmental protection -- Management, Farmers -- Practice, Environmental issue, Company business management, Earth sciences
Abstract

Byline: Tyler Joseph Tarnoczi (1), Fikret Berkes (1) Abstract: Successful adaptation assumes the availability of appropriate information for groups potentially impacted by climate change. This research examines information available to help farmers in the Canadian Prairies to adapt, with focus on information related to soil and water conservation practices, such as preserving wetlands and maintaining shelterbelts and groundcover, considered particularly important for this region. Results of 28 semi-structured interviews carried out with producers in two Prairie provinces, Alberta and Manitoba, revealed that information regarding soil and water conservation practices comes from a variety of sources. These included industry, government, producer and conservation organizations, social sources of information and personal experience, and media. Producers were more open to new practices when they could learn them through observation, trials, and two-way dialogue. There appears to be a general lack of producer organization involvement, and dearth of government information, direction, and coordination for climate change adaptation. Information from government and producer organizations can be important for the co-production of knowledge that can lead to successful adaptation.

Abstract

Collaboration between agencies, private groups, and citizens in the field of natural resource management is generally seen as a productive strategy in challenging management situations. Collaborative management is particularly appealing in efforts like farmland preservation, which depend for their success on local initiative and support. However, such partnerships may create new dilemmas about the appropriate use of information in management. This paper analyzes the use of information by 15 county-wide Farmland Preservation task forces in the state of Ohio, U.S.A.

Abstract

The US Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program will have a total of 29.9 million acres by October 1, 1997 as it accepts an additional 5.9 million acres of farmland. The program was initiated to conserve land and prevent the degradation of wildlife and wind and water erosion. The existing contracts allow the government to pay $45.15 per acre of included land, lower than the previous sign-up's $39.39 per acre. The contract, which will endure for some 10 to 15 years, covers parts of the Mountain States, Northern Plains and Southern Plains.
