Peace Region Living Lab Producer Survey

Beneficial Management Practices in the Peace: Brief survey

Participation

You have been asked to participate in this survey because you are an agricultural producer in the Peace Region. Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and is expected to take ~3 minutes. There are no foreseeable risks associated with participating in this survey. You may withdraw from the survey at any point, or leave those questions blank.

Purpose and Objective

This research will help to track beneficial management practice (BMP) adoption by producers in the Peace Region as part of the Peace Region Living Lab (PRLL) project. It will inform the Knowledge and Technology Transfer program of the PRLL and further research and extension planning of the participating Partner Groups of the project.  The survey is being delivered solely by the PRLL.

Anonymity and Confidentiality

All data will be held confidential by the researchers and shared with the funding agency in anonymized form. All research results will be shared in an aggregated format that protects anonymity. Your confidentiality and the confidentiality of the data collected through this survey will be protected by limiting the collection of personal data, by storing data on Canadian servers, and by encrypting and limiting access to data that includes personal information to the lead researchers.

Dissemination of Results

It is expected that aggregated, anonymized results of this study will be shared by the PRLL including its partner groups (applied research, forage and producer associations), with others in the following ways:

  • Presentations at meetings & events, such as conferences and workshops
  • Online presentations of results to interested parties such as during webinars
  • Written materials for print and online publishing that could include:
    • Factsheets & case studies, project progress and final reports, research articles in professional journals
  • Summary of findings will be documented in a short executive summary for distribution to participating organizations and interested parties, made available on the project website: http://peacelivinglab.ca
