The Alberta Institute of Agrologists (AIA) is a professional regulatory body within Alberta that has an agreement with the Alberta government to formally regulate its members’ activities. Increasingly gaining recognition and exposure among employers, governing bodies and the public, agrology is a rapidly growing and ever-expanding profession addressing critical issues around agriculture production and environmental health and quality.
Over its 71-year history, AIA members have been instrumental in developing guidelines, policies, regulations and activities for reclamation and remediation of pipelines and oil and gas sites throughout Alberta. Agrology professionals ensure the quality and sustainability of our natural environment is maintained by designing appropriate land capability systems for agricultural and forested land, and tools and techniques for reclaiming land to equivalent capability.
