Date and Time
The webinar will describe the Sugar Creek Method used by a team of social and natural scientists at The Ohio State University who teamed up with three teams of local farmers (one non-Amish German descent, one Amish, and one combined) and the local SWCDs, Ohio EPA, and a cheese factory to improve water quality. The presentation is divided into six sections: 1). Theoretical threads woven to create the method; 2). How the research and farm teams were formed; 3). Farmer values influencing our approach; 4). Grants and BMPs; 5). The Alpine Nutrient Trading Program; 6). Climate change and new approaches involving carbon.
