The economic, environmental and social benefits of agriculture best management practices (BMPs) are well known. The successful adoption of BMPs is dependent on having access to useable information. The Niagara Community Observatory at Brock University is conducting a series of surveys in Ontario’s horticulture sector to learn how research about BMPs is shared, accessed, and used. The findings from the research will be used to develop more effective ways of sharing information that support the adoption of BMPs.
