Canada launches new research network on sustainable agriculture to support a net-zero economy

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Agriculture and Agrifood Canada (AAFC) have now launched the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Network on Sustainable Agriculture in a Net-Zero Economy.

This funding opportunity will support the establishment of a national research network that brings together social sciences and humanities researchers and practitioners from all sectors to enhance learning, expertise, and knowledge sharing across Canada on studies in agriculture, climate change, and environment. Its main objective is to support knowledge mobilization and partnership research on the social and socio-economic impacts of policy actions in agriculture pertaining to net-zero, behavioural and societal influences on agricultural practices, and inform approaches to scale up adoption of practices that support Canada’s environment and climate goals.

Further details, including application information, are available on SSHRC’s website at the following link: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Network on Sustainable Agriculture in a Net-Zero Economy.
