Living Lab: Atlantic is part of the Living Laboratories Initiative, a new approach to agricultural innovation in Canada, which brings together farmers, scientists and other collaborators to develop and test innovative practices and technologies. Through a nationwide network of Living Labs, the initiative focuses on innovative solutions to environmental issues related to agriculture, such as climate change, soil health, water quality and biodiversity. The goal of the Living Labs Initiative is to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable practices and technologies by Canadian farmers.
