The federal government has expanded a program to include agriculture in finding ways to reduce greenhouse gases.

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has announced nine new Living Labs across the country, including in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, at a cost of $54 million.

Each lab, which brings together farmers and scientists, will focus on identifying innovative technologies and on-farm management practices that can be adopted by farmers countrywide to tackle climate change.

Bibeau told a news conference that farmers are on the front lines of climate change and the labs get research out of the lab and onto real working farms.
