Nelsen, Jennifer; 11/16: Chesapeake 4R Alliance: Finding Profitable Solutions for Ag and Our Bay |
|
Working to improve 4R Nutrient Stewardship can offer opportunities to increase profitability for both farmers and their crop consultants, while also improving water quality and habitat. The Chesapeake 4R Alliance is a partnership founded by the Delaware Maryland Agribusiness Association and The Nature Conservancy, to identify nutrient stewardship practices that are a good fit for our region's agricultural systems and also benefit the environment. Our farmers have said that they need information, technical services and/or funding to adopt advanced 4R practices. This session will discuss available funding options, and explore how CCAs and agribusiness can support increased adoption of 4R practices. Instructor: Ms. Jennifer Nelson, The Nature Conservancy.
