Regenerative agriculture and other fixes to the food system - webinar
Start Date: 8/28/2024Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 8/28/2024End Time: 5:30 PM
Event Description:
Industrial agriculture has brought us huge monocultures of corn and soybeans. Yearly tillage has robbed the soil of organic matter, and little habitat remains to support the natural enemies of crop pests.  These impacts now require the heavy use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer and pesticides to maintain yields, resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions and massive air & water pollution.  How can we change agriculture to maintain soil health and rebuild the biodiversity that can help control pests while reducing carbon emissions, controlling pollution and maybe even sequestering some carbon?
