Learn more about how Agricultural Water Futures is enabling adaption in Canada's agricultural sector in our newly released
Progress Report
Agricultural Water Futures comprises three interlinked Work Packages:
Work Package 1: Current and future water-use in Canadian agriculture
Objective: Develop a sophisticated modelling platform that will improve our ability to accurately calculate the water use and water productivity for crop and livestock production systems throughout Canada.
Work Package 2: Current and future water quality in Canadian agriculture
Objective: Synthesis and modelling of existing historical data sets to improve the understanding of the impacts of climate and soil geomorphic factors on transport pathways and their associated water quality across Canadian agricultural systems.
Work Package 3: Strengthening capacity for adaptation in agricultural water decision making
Objective: Working with our partners, and building on insights from WP1 and WP2, we will develop scalable tools to strengthen the foundation for adaptation in agricultural water decision making in Canada, focusing on water quality.
