Agriculture & The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Seminar October 11 In Harrisburg
|
|
The Whitaker Center's second Expedition Chesapeake Seminar will be held on October 11 at 10:00 a.m. in Harrisburg on the topic of Agriculture and The Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Dr. Douglas Beegle, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Agronomy at Penn State University will present and lead a discussion for stakeholders as part of Expedition Chesapeake initiative.
“Our goal is to try and frame the discussion surrounding the watershed and agriculture and the challenges we all confront when it comes to nutrient management,” said Dr. Beegle. “There has been a lot of research and implementation done over the years and some things have worked and some haven’t. But I think too many people believe the challenge we have is with individual farmers and their practices. That is not completely the case. We need to step back and look at the big picture and the structure of agriculture in our economy in the Bay watershed.”
Expedition Chesapeake is a $10 million initiative anchored by a giant screen film, an online curriculum, a traveling, 4D science exhibit, and a made-for-television documentary.
