SUMMARY:APAS Prairie Agriculture Carbon Summit

We have to tell our own story.? \nThe APAS Carbon summit will bring together agricultural producers\, researchers\, government policy makers and the society at large to explore and discuss the role that agricultural practices currently play in the greenhouse gas balance\, and the exciting potential that new technologies can provide.? \nWe will also be investigating how public policy can recognize these contributions and design policy to maximize potential research and uptake into new technologies and management practices.? \nThe summit will also discuss and identify knowledge gaps that need to be addressed.? \nDiscussion Topics?\n\n\nThe current state of carbon pricing and exchange schemes in Canada \n\n\n\n\nThe history of carbon sequestration in prairie cropland (Sask Soil Conservation) \n\n\n\n\nResearch on Sequestration in Pastures and Forage \n\n\n\n\nFertilizer Management and Nutrient cycles \n\n\n\n\nPresentations on new plant genomics and the potential for increased carbon sequestration and management on the landscape. \n\n\n\n\nEconomics of Carbon Taxes and offsets \n\n\n\n
