Hosted by:<\/strong>\u00a0 JT Cornelis, Soil Science<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Title:<\/strong> Charting a path to net-zero carbon agriculture<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstract:<\/strong> Agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), has a unique capacity for carbon storage and is also significantly impacted by changing temperature, and extreme climate events making it an important focus for climate change action. As a result, government and industry have set ambitious emission reduction targets for the sector. Achieving these targets requires the identification and implementation of the most promising mitigation practices for on-farm management of energy, animals, manure, soils and crops. Taking an integrated systems approach to food systems considering the inter-connectedness of various parts will be key.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Biography: <\/strong>Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle is a Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences,\u00a0University of Guelph, Canada.\u00a0\u00a0Originally from Brazil, Claudia has degrees from the University of Sao Paulo and Guelph.\u00a0Claudia leads an internationally renowned research program greenhouse gas emission measurements to determine the carbon footprint of food, feed, and fuel produced by agriculture.\u00a0\u00a0Claudia is the Editor-in-Chief of\u00a0Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and leads a nationwide training program on Climate-Smart Soils.
