About this Event
Target Audience: Grades 6-8, 9-12, Educators, the Public
Regenerative agriculture has the potential to act as a carbon sink and can be a key strategy to mitigate climate change, but must also be combined with other emissions reductions actions. Join us to take a look at farming strategies that can enhance soil health, foster biodiversity, reduce erosion, increase yields, increase drought resilience, and more, all while sequestering carbon in the soil. Finally, consider the relationship between climate change and agriculture — while a changing climate puts new pressures on farmers, farming can also be a powerful part of the solution.
A link to join the session will be provided to all registered participants upon registration.
