Managing Manure for the Climate 

Manure management is critical for fertility in organic systems and for protecting the environment. Recent research highlights practices to reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from organic dairy systems. In this session we will discuss what manure management practices can be implemented on livestock farms to reduce emissions and store carbon from the barn to the pasture. Researchers will quantify emissions reductions by sharing data on practices ranging from composting to digestion and discuss tradeoffs, practicalities of implementation, and economics. We encourage you to attend and participate in the discussions to further all our knowledge on this critical topic.
