Join Cole Gross, PhD student and Rural Routes to Climate Solutions for a webinar discussing Cole’s study on how planting trees and mixing organic additives into soils affect greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities, the controls on soil carbon cycling, and the ability of the surface and deep soil to capture and store carbon.

Ken Espheter joins us to answer all your questions about setting up a Farmer’s Co-Op in Alberta!

Trees and agriculture do mix. In fact, if managed correctly, the two can help each other out. We are hosting a field day at the University of Alberta research sites looking into the benefits of combining trees into agricultural systems both for productivity and carbon sequestration.

We are checking out the research sites in Lethbridge that are unlocking the secrets and benefits of inter-cropping and perennial cereal grains production.

Perennial crop production (grains, oilseeds, pulses) is an emerging field of research in North America. Some of the research on perennial cereal grain is taking place in right here in Alberta. We are giving you an opportunity to connect with one of the University of Alberta researchers.

Perennial crop production (grains, oilseeds, pulses) is an emerging field of research in North America. Some of the research on perennial cereal grain is taking place in right here in Alberta at one of the province’s oldest agriculture research stations. We are giving you an opportunity to see it for yourself.
