Reserved practice ("Practice Rights") is now in force for our profession as of September 1, 2022. A primary foundation of those rights are definitions of agrology practice areas that are clear, accountable, and enforceable. This has been done in a document entitled Practice Areas - A Summary for BCIA Registrants and Applicants and should be viewed in tandem with The Profession of Agrology - A Summary.
