Webinar: Water Sustainability in Alberta's Agriculture through Digitalization - Preliminary Policy Lab Findings
Join the Simpson Centre’s Policy Lab team for a one-hour webinar presenting the preliminary findings from our Policy Lab sessions investigating Water Sustainability in Alberta's Agriculture through Digitalization.
The Policy Lab has been a multi-phase initiative designed to foster collaboration and generate impactful solutions for Water Sustainability in Alberta's Agriculture through Digitalization.
To address Alberta's water availability challenges in agriculture, crop and livestock producers, researchers, industry professionals, government officials, irrigation districts, and other participants come together in the Policy Lab to develop a plan to optimize water use, protect the environment, and support business growth.
Where We Are in the Journey:
Session 1 (November 27th, 2024 - Completed): In the first session, we worked together to define the problem, identifying key challenges in water sustainability within Alberta’s agricultural landscape.
Session 2 (March 4th, 2025 - Completed): In the second session, we focused on producers' needs, challenges, and opportunities when it comes to leveraging digital tools to enhance water sustainability in Alberta’s agriculture; and discussions focused on identifying key areas for policy interventions.
Session 3 (December 3rd, 2025 - Upcoming): To bring together the insights from the first and second policy lab sessions to create a comprehensive policy roadmap for water sustainability through digitalization in Alberta’s agriculture.
