Making Stewardship Pay: Ecosystem Services Markets (Webinar)

Agricultural Utilization Research Institute | WEBINAR

Friday, November 20, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00pm (CST)

Join us on November 20th for the next AURI Connects: Fields of Innovation webinar. This month’s edition focuses on ecosystem services markets. We will look at work done in Minnesota to test and develop new, market-based models to provide financial incentives to farmers that implement practices – such as new cash cover crops – that improve soil health, store carbon in soils, and reduce nutrient runoff from their fields.

The November 20th webinar will feature leaders from The Nature Conservancy (Leif Fixen, Agriculture Strategy Manager), Minnesota Milk Producers Association (Lucas Sjostrom, The Executive Director) and Headwaters Agriculture Sustainability Partnership (Steve Peterson, Board Chair).

The conversation about ecosystem services markets is ongoing at the Fields of Innovation Facebook Group.
