Conservation Matters: Role of Nutrient and Water Management in Climate-Smart Soil and Water Conservation

Aug24

Date: August 24, 2023
Time: 12:00pm
Location: Virtual

Climate-smart agriculture has come to the forefront as an approach to simultaneously increase agricultural productivity, while enhancing resilience to climate impacts and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. This concept integrates well-known conservation strategies such as cover cropping, agroforestry, nutrient management, and conservation tillage.

Climate-smart agriculture has gained attention recently through legislation and increased funding directed at tackling this complex issue. Yet conservationists and researchers may be asking – what do I need to do to make my program “climate-smart”?

In this session from the Soil and Water Conservation Society, (a follow-up to the June webinar) presenters will address the importance of nutrient management, as well as water management, when planning climate smart agriculture to maximize benefits and minimize off-site losses of nutrients in the practical implementation of climate-smart conservation agriculture.
