Kirsten Ball, a post-doctoral researcher with WSU’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources (CSANR), is working to understand the short- and long-term potential for organic amendments to improve carbon storage in soils of agricultural systems.
PULLMAN, Wash. – The benefits of recycling organic materials as soil amendments will be the focus of the latest in Washington State University Extension’s “Research Working for You” webinar series. “Closing the Recycling Loop through Organic Amendments in Agriculture and Gardens” will begin at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 5, at http://breeze.wsu.edu/research_that_works_for_you/.
MALO, Wash. – The complexities of emerging carbon markets for farmers, ranchers and forest owners will be the focus of an April 24 workshop offered here by Washington State University Ferry County Extension, the Ferry County Commissioners and the Malo Grange.
The right combination of agricultural practices and definitive government policies could go a long way toward increasing carbon sequestration on the farm, according to Washington State University researchers.
