As Canada leads as the world's largest exporter of pulse crops, the 13th CPRW underscores our commitment to sustainable agriculture and global food systems. Together, we will spotlight the latest breakthroughs in pulse research and chart the course for future innovations. This workshop is not just a gathering; it's a catalyst for networking, knowledge exchange, and forging new partnerships that will shape the future of pulse research.

Join AgriSystems Living Labs and Dr. Shanwei Xu from Agriculture and Agri-food Canada as we learn more about composting. we'll gather knowledge on past and current composting research including the concept of composting, optimal conditions for composting procedures, application of composting for the disposal of livestock manure and carcasses, examining the compost/manure fertilizer values as soil amendment for crop production and increase soil health, and co-benefits of using composting for manure disposal including inactivating pathogens such as infectious prions and reducing the antimicrobial residues and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes into environment.

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 crop actually needs. By avoiding fertilizer overuse, NVRT could help reduce nitrous oxide emissions from farming. However, it is not yet fully understood how much NVRT can reduce nitrous oxide emissions.

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.
