Alberta Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development (AFRED) recognizes the benefit of protecting and ensuring a sustainable environment for future generations. This includes identifying the role AFRED can play in assisting producers to manage and mitigate environmental risks through adopting environmentally beneficial management practices. The Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture Tracking Survey (ESATS) has been undertaken almost biannually since 1997. ESATS measures Alberta producers’ awareness of, and adoption of environmentally sustainable agriculture (ESA) practices within a number of agri-environmental risk areas.
The agri-environmental risk areas covered in the 2021 ESATS survey included:
• Water Quality
• Soil Health
• Air Quality
• Biodiversity
Each risk area corresponds to a number of ESA practices, also commonly referred to as Best Management Practices (BMPs). The ESATS was fielded in 2021, which means it is based upon the 2020 production year. -
