The Sugar Creek Method of Research and Farmer Team Building to Achieve Improved Water Quality

February 19, 2020
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

The webinar will describe the Sugar Creek Method used by a team of social and natural scientists at The Ohio State University who teamed up with three teams of local farmers (one non-Amish German descent, one Amish, and one combined) and the local SWCDs, Ohio EPA, and a cheese factory to improve water quality.
The presentation is divided into six sections:

1. Theoretical threads woven to create the method

2. How the research and farm teams were formed

3. Farmer values influencing our approach

4. Grants and BMPs

5. The Alpine Nutrient Trading Program

6. Climate change and new approaches involving carbon
