The Agroclimate Impact Reporter (AIR) is an online survey designed for the collection and reporting of weather and climate impacts on-farm operations across Canada.
The survey is short (~5mins) and seeks information regarding the quality of crops experienced by rate payers, any detrimental climate conditions, and moisture levels over the past five years.
Survey responses inform scientists about conditions in a particular area, but once responses are compiled into a map, scientists have a better picture of conditions across Canada. The information provided by these monthly surveys can then be used to identify developing agroclimate trends as well as visualize the extent of agroclimate impacts to the sector.
