Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continue to pose a significant challenge to our planet. Carbon markets are the primary strategy to reduce GHG emissions across our economy. Agriculture is positioned to play an important role in this transition to lower carbon emissions. Understanding the fundamentals of carbon emissions, as well as technologies, practices and market opportunities available to agricultural producers are critical to that transition. In this webinar, we'll explore the fundamentals of carbon markets and how food animal producers can benefit from them to improve our understanding of the economic opportunities to livestock producers, focusing on manure handling and treatment prior to it leaving the facility. This webinar is the first in a 3-part webinar mini-series on carbon markets for livestock operations.
An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) will be submitted.
Presenters include:
- Patrick Wood, Ag Methane Advisors
- Hal Langenbach, Agri-Waste Technology, Inc.
- Mahmoud Sharara, North Carolina State University
Handouts (PDF format) will be available the day of the webinar at the live webinar information page. Find out more about this webinar and future webinars by the Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community (LPELC).
