Manuresheds: Advancing nutrient recycling in US agriculture

Virtual

View the Recording

The Manureshed initiative seeks to catalyze connections among livestock and crop systems so that manure can be efficiently and sustainably used as fertilizer. With coordinated processing and transport, manure could replace 35% of the Phosphorus and 8% of the Nitrogen applied as fertilizer in the US each year. Accordingly, strategic manure redistribution and recycling provides a solution to some of the greatest production and conservation challenges facing US agriculture while promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation. We envision a nationwide manureshed system powered by a diversity of actors who collaboratively manage manure resources based on system-level optimization, and who prioritize the removal of barriers to adoption of manure recycling. In this webinar, we discuss the manureshed vision, the geographic barriers to manureshed recycling, the social networks underlying manureshed management at multiple scales, and provide examples of industry-specific manureshed solutions.

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:

  • Sheri Spiegal, USDA-ARS
  • Colton Flynn, USDA-ARS
  • Gwendwr Meredith, University of Idaho
  • Robb Meinen, Penn 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).

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an Extension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an Extension-hosted event?

eXtension posts publicly our events to two calendars - the Extension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
