Join Our Board of Directors
We work alongside agricultural producers and rural communities to explore climate solutions that improve soil health, create new economic opportunities, protect biodiversity, and build resilience to droughts and floods.
We take a made-in-Alberta, rural-first approach, making climate conversations accessible, practical and relevant—recognizing that rural climate solutions contribute to healthier, more resilient futures for both rural and urban communities. And while our roots are in Alberta, our goal is to expand across the Prairies in the near future.
Through learning resources, social innovation labs, producer-led projects and partnerships, we’re working with diverse individuals, communities, and organizations to embrace practices that are good for the farm and the climate.
What We Do
RR2CS supports the adoption of climate solutions through community-driven projects and accessible education. Our work includes:
- The Regenerative Agriculture Lab – a collaborative space where producers, researchers, and community leaders co-create solutions for regenerative land management.
- The Siksikaitsitapi Agriculture Project – focused on supporting Blackfoot-led food systems, land stewardship, and knowledge sharing.
- Our communications & education tools, including:
- Farmer’s Blog & Podcast – storytelling platforms that highlight producers leading the way in regenerative agriculture.
- Workshops, events, and field days – interactive opportunities for rural Albertans to learn from one another and share practical insights.
If you’re excited about where agriculture, community resilience and climate solutions meet, we’d love to hear from you.
