On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, from 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. (ET), the Thriving Ag Project will sponsor “Opportunities in Agriculture for a Thriving Chesapeake Bay Watershed Beyond 2025” at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club in Stevensville, Maryland. Center Staff Attorney Brook Duer will attend as a stakeholder participant in workshop conversations.
From Thriving Ag:
Join a conversation with leading agricultural scientists and experts from across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed to discuss the latest advances in:
- Nutrient management and soil health;
- Economic and other incentives for conservation practice adoption;
- Nutrient flows across the supply chain;
- Movements and markets for local food;
- Agricultural land preservation.
Through an interactive discussion with the workshop participants, scientists will share their recommendations based on decades of agricultural research in the Bay Watershed and how we can sustain thriving agriculture AND have a healthy Chesapeake Bay. Workshop recommendations will be shared with the Chesapeake Bay Beyond 2025 Steering Committee to inform efforts post-2025.
