Webinar: Nitrogen Management and Climate Change Mitigation in Pacific Northwest Cropping Systems 

Presented by Georgine Yorgey WSU 10:00 -11:00 a.m Webinar

URL: http://breeze.wsu.edu/csanr_series/ 

Login as a guest on April 17, 2014. Previous webinars (archived here) provided a foundation on nitrogen cycling and losses in agricultural systems, and an overview of nitrous oxide emissions in cropland agriculture. These webinars are co-produced by the Regional Approaches to Climate Change for Pacific Northwest Agriculture Project (REACCH) and WSU’s Center.

WHAT:          The University of Idaho Sustainability Center is hosting an interdisciplinary, student-led panel discussion on the future of food entitled, “Feeding the Future”.

DETAILS:     Students from International Studies, Agricultural Economics, Bioregional Planning, and Business will discuss complex food systems issues in a panel discussion hosted and moderated by the University of Idaho Sustainability Center. Topics will range from the value of sustainable agriculture practices to finding the balance between using acreage for biofuels versus food production. Audience members will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion with questions, and pizza will be provided for attendees. The diverse viewpoints and backgrounds of the student panelists will provide an opportunity to learn about the importance of finding collaborative solutions to global food issues.

WHERE:        University of Idaho Commons, Crest Room, 4th Floor

Please come celebrate all that Earth provides on April 22^nd at the biggest Earth Day Fair ever on WashingtonState University’s Terrell Mall. This year there will be at least 25 Washington and Idaho community groups and WSU student groups that are involved in the sustainability of Earth tabling on The Mall. In addition to all the conscious groups that will be tabling and informing students, faculty, staff, and the public community of their sustainability-related mission, there will be an open-microphone for anyone to freely speak about the environment, other open-mic entertainment, and free “Earth Week 2014”: sustainable coffee mugs, magnets, t-shirts, and drawstring bags for visiting some of the Earth Day Fair group tables and learning about what they are all about. There will be many opportunities to get involved in the conservation, preservation, and restoration of Earth through the 25 groups that will be there.  The WSU Earth Day Fair is sponsored by the ASWSU Environmental Sustainability Alliance and WSU Environmental Science Club. We truly hope to see there!
