The Birds & The Bees: Making Better Use of Marginal Cropland
A conversation you likely never had with your dad.
Together with FCC, Olds College Centre for Innovation has been working to identify alternative production and management strategies to better utilize marginal cropland. Over the last two years we’ve identified: tools to delineate areas of marginal land, alternative management strategies, economic impacts and benefits, incentives available for marginal land conversion, and methods to measure impact.
Join us to learn what we’re learning, about strategies, resources, anticipated benefits, steps we are taking on the Smart Farm, and how you can apply this on your own ground.
CEU Credits: 0.5
