WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Pulse Canada is working to assess the environmental impact of Canadian navy bean, pinto bean, red kidney bean and faba bean production. The information provided by the study will help position Canadian dry beans and faba beans as foods with a low environmental footprint. Your participation as a farmer is essential to the success of this undertaking.

CANADIAN DRY BEAN & FABA BEAN  
GROWER SURVEY


  • The survey will take roughly 25 minutes to complete.

  • Prepare for the survey by ensuring you have key farm records such as fertilizer and pesticide application on hand.

  • The survey collects information on key inputs (for example, fertilizers and crop protection products) and activities characteristic of bean and faba bean production on your farm from the past year, and yield data from the past few years.

  • Responses are saved automatically, so you may partially complete the survey then come back to it at a later time by using the same link so long as you use the same device (i.e., computer, laptop, tablet) and the same browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.).

  • The survey is best formatted for a desktop/laptop/tablet. Completing the survey on a smart phone may be challenging, since this requires scrolling across the page.

  • A completed survey example has been provided to help guide you through completing the questions.
