The 70th Annual SWCS Conference will be held 26-29 July 2015 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Full details are on the SWCS website. The theme is “Coming Home to Conservation: Putting Science into Practice”. This is an excellent conference for anyone interested in soils and water management. This year’s program looks particularly interesting including the different additional workshops you could attend.
One way the SWCS is moving forward on current environmental challenges is by incorporating the former National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) National Water Conference into the International Annual Conference, which will increase collaborative opportunities for land-grant based scientists and educators engaged in water issues. SWCS welcomes this addition to the already diverse audience and the enhancement it will provide to all conference participants.
Our very own board members will be giving presentations too. Jacqui Empson Laporte who works at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs will present “Putting Technology to Work Leading to Real-Life Solutions: Aquahacking”.
Pamela Joosse, who works at Agriculture & Agrifood Canada, will present “Defining and Analyzing Agricultural Production Systems to Determine the Capacity to Make Soil and Nutrient
Management Improvements in the Canadian Lake Erie Basin”.
Visit the SWCS.org website to see more details. The programme looks very interesting. Hope you can attend!
