Let's shed some light on Composting! It's more than just putting your manure in a pile, as you can find out from our group of three Alberta Agrisystems Living Lab producers. Learn how these three producers are all brewing and using compost in their own unique ways at our upcoming webinar.
Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in global warming and climate change. Agriculture is the main source of nitrous oxide emissions, due to the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Nitrogen Variable Rate Technology or NVRT is a promising fertilization method that applies nitrogen fertilizer only where and in the amount …
The province of Alberta has been in cyclical droughts since the mid 1980s. In the last five years almost every corner of Alberta has experienced diminished surface water levels, leading to ranchers and farmers needing to diversity their stock water options. Providing water delivered through a shallow buried pasture pipeline is not a new innovation, …

Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) is a 4-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil. Can an underutilized way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, …
This talk, drawn from Putting Down Roots, examines Métis land dispossession in the Qu’Appelle Valley through the implementation of the Dominion Lands Act and related policies of survey, homesteading, and scrip. These settler colonial policies imposed new systems of land tenure privileging individual ownership, agricultural labour, and strict homestead requirements, undermining Métis relationships to land grounded …

Riparian areas are the zones of water loving plants influenced by water that, although small in proportion, do allot for us. Beavers are a keystone species that create riparian habitat and influence the ecosystem functions these areas provide. This presentation will offer an overview of beaver biology, ecology, and behaviour. It will also touch on …
Methane emissions are an increasing focus for the livestock industry, but measuring them accurately under real feedlot conditions remains a challenge. This talk will highlight how uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) are being used to measure methane emissions directly from feedlots. We’ll walk through how the technology works, what it can reveal about emission …
