摘要: Successful adaptation assumes the availability of appropriate information for groups potentially impacted by climate change. This research examines available to help farmers in Canadian Prairies adapt, with focus on related soil and water conservation practices, such as preserving wetlands maintaining shelterbelts groundcover, considered particularly important this region. Results 28 semi-structured interviews carried out producers two Prairie provinces, Alberta Manitoba, revealed that regarding practices comes from a variety sources. These included industry, government, producer organizations, social sources personal experience, media. Producers were more open new when they could learn them through observation, trials, two-way dialogue. There appears be general lack organization involvement, dearth government information, direction, coordination change adaptation. Information organizations can co-production knowledge lead successful
