Penn State's College of Agriculture will host another in its series of College Connections webinars April 20 on Follow The Carbon: Re-Envisioning The Bioeconomy from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.

Every year forests and agricultural crops remove tens of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Hundreds of millions of dollars are now on the table to incentivize producers to store more of that carbon.

Join Dean Rick Roush and Professor of Agricultural and Biological Engineering Tom Richard and Assistant Professor of Forest Resource Management Melissa Kreye for a discussion of how these new carbon markets can help improve soil health and enhance ecosystem resilience, and how landowners and communities may benefit from this bio-economy, all while slowing and eventually reversing climate change.

The discussion will also include how private landowners may plan to engage in the bio-economy and the need for continuing landowner education.
