The Improving Economics through Sustainability field day will be held on Tuesday, August 26th at the Braga Barn in Soledad, California from 8:30-12:30. Lunch will be provided. An optional afternoon add-on includes a field visit to Dole Ranch for the Dole cover crop study.
Economic sustainability is a critical component to building resilient and profitable sustainable farming systems. Incorporating sustainability on-farm often requires upfront investment in new technologies, practices or crop management systems. Improving economics through sustainability can support growers to make informed decisions when considering making changes to farming operations. This field day will showcase tools and case studies that demonstrate how operations can improve economics through sustainability.
What you can expect:
● A discussion on the costs and benefits associated with integrating regenerative agriculture practices
● Demonstration of WWF Global Farm Loss Tool
● Case studies for new automated weed control in-field technologies
● Comparing outcomes from strategic nutrient application regimes
● Success stories and tips for creating sustainability engagement
