The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Network on Sustainable Agriculture in a Net-Zero Economy funding opportunity is a joint initiative between SSHRC and Agriculture and Agri Food Canada (AAFC). The overall goal of this funding opportunity is to establish a research network to enhance social sciences and humanities research capacity in universities, in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, and in communities to fill knowledge gaps and expand the discourse for effective decision making on agri-environmental investments and actions. This interdisciplinary social sciences and humanities research network would foster innovative research, partnership and training activities pertaining to:

• social and socio-economic impacts of policy actions in agriculture in a net-zero future;
• behavioural and societal influences on agricultural practices in the agricultural and food sector; and
• approaches to scale up adoption of practices that contribute to Canada’s climate and environmental goals.
