Farm Field Day Resource List
CalCAN organized a farm field day on April 9th, 2010 at two farms near Winters, CA, to hear from farmer leaders about their farming practices with climate benefits. Topics included:
- Cover cropping to sequester carbon in the soil
- Application of char ash amendment to reduce nitrous oxide emissions
- Biodigester renewable energy production
- Vineyard management to minimize pesticides and erosion
- Maximizing natural systems
- Elements of certified organic systems that have climate benefits
A resource list was generated from the discussion and questions that arose during the field day.
