SUMMARY:Driving Investment in Regional Food Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:Investment in physical food systems infrastructure\, such as storage and distribution facilities\, is essential to increase capacity in regional food economies. Too often\, investment opportunities in the food supply chain are hyper-focused on a specific link\, rather than taking a systems approach to financing regional food-related projects. During this installment of the CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series\, we will explore opportunities to access capital and leverage federal funds to support new investments in regional infrastructure for food aggregation\, processing\, storage\, and more. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Season-Ahead Algal Bloom Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, cultural eutrophication of coastal waters and inland lakes around the world has contributed to a rapid expansion of harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Potential outbreaks of toxin-producing cyanobacteria species have drawn concern from health officials and water managers given their negative ecological\, aesthetic\, and socioeconomic impacts. Currently\, little information regarding expected summertime cyanobacteria abundance is available prior to the season. With sufficient lead time\, communicating the likelihood of elevated cyanobacteria abundance may be informative for proactively managing potential threats to lake and beach safety. We developed a model to issue predictions in early June of expected summertime cyanobacteria abundance for Lake Mendota. The prediction model demonstrates moderate to good skill and an ability to accurately predict summers with above-normal cyanobacteria abundance. Associated beach closure predictions also show promise but are highly sensitive to the short observational record – a limitation directly being addressed by Clean Lakes Alliance volunteer monitors and researchers at UW-Madison. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Heifer Grazing Compass Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will be a hands-on training session for the Heifer Grazing Compass from the University of Wisconsin and the Grassland 2.0 project. This session is intended for farmers interested in grazing and agricultural service providers. We will be walking through the different dynamics of the decision support tool using data based on a case study of a small family-owned dairy farm in Wisconsin that recently converted to a pasture-based system for their heifers. Participants are encouraged to download the tool and fill in the input data from the case study before the session. This is because in this training session we aim to have a rich discussion of the different functions of the tool\, and the possible “learning experiences” that can be displayed with the tool. \nAfter registering and prior to the webinar\, I will send you instructions to prepare for this webinar. If you do not receive an email upon submission of your registration\, contact Penny at Penny@wisconsinlandwater.org \nCheck out this link to find out more about the Heifer Grazing Compass – https://grasslandag.org/the-heifer-grazing-compass/ \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Conservation Innovation Grants: Energy & Water Benchmarking Tools and Best Practices to Improve Resource Efficiency for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar during which we will discuss: \n– PowerScore\, a resource benchmarking tool\, offers growers deeper insight into their energy\, water\, and emissions efficiency; \n– Productivity key performance indicators enhance competitive business insights for growers; and \n– A library of controlled environment agriculture best practices guides helps operators to optimize crop yields and environmental improvements to meet sustainability targets and become more resilient in competitive markets. \nPresenters will explain how controlled environment agriculture facilities (greenhouses and indoor farms) can be benchmarked with PowerScore\, a free specialized online tool. PowerScore gives growers key performance indicators and calculates year-over-year changes to highlight areas of excellence and identify pathways for more resilient strategies. Panelists will share how growers and their project partners can access a library of curriculum\, attend live workshops\, and stream training on-demand on RII’s online CEA Learning Center. The speakers will demonstrate how to create PowerScore Performance Snapshots and share how case studies will celebrate best practices being implemented in the field. These resources can result in improved facility design\, support implementation of high-performance equipment\, and lead to quicker adoption of low- and no-cost strategies to address multiple NRCS resource concerns. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Diseased\, Decayed\, Defective\, and Dangerous: When Good Trees Go Bad
DESCRIPTION:Trees provide a variety of benefits to society. But trees also lose branches or break when forces exceed their structural strength or the root-soil connection. Tree failure can cause severe damage to houses and other structures\, deny access or use of infrastructure\, and injure or kill people. Landowners have legal “duty of care” for trees on their properties\, including responsibility to obtain expert assistance when appropriate. Learn how qualified arborists assess tree risk by estimating likelihood of tree failure and impact\, and the consequences to property and people. \nInfo here.

DESCRIPTION:Fresh water is Earth’s most precious resource. We all use it every day and can all have an impact on the ability to provide reliable supplies of clean water now and for future generations. \nParticipants will learn about how our local water system works and the human impact on water. You will also gain knowledge and skills about practical actions to conserve\, protect\, restore\, and advocate for our local water systems. Learn the ins and outs of our local water system and get your water questions answered. \nThe program will give you the tools you need to implement water conservation\, protection\, and restoration actions in your life. To fully complete the program and receive the water steward certification\, participants will complete a water action of their choosing with the support of Sustain Dane. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Watershed-Wide Infiltration and Flood Benefits from the Fields
DESCRIPTION:Participants will joint to learn about the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Project\, Kansas Health Watersheds and how available authorities did a sensitivity analysis on watershed wide soil health management systems in Kansas. \nThis presentation will cover several subtopics: 1) An introduction to the Silver Jackets Program and the inter-agency projects. 2) Understanding the nexus: One flood risk management measure\, a land use incentive. 3) Why watershed approaches and natural and nature-based features should be seen as the center point of future partnerships. 4) Future work\, including watershed approaches and climate change evaluations. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:NRCS and Streambank Soil Bio-engineering
DESCRIPTION:The subject presentation will provide an overview of the use of stream bank soil bio-engineering practice used as part of NRCS conservation work. Both plant based and structural based practices will be discussed. \nFor more than 80 years\, NRCS and its predecessor agencies have worked in close partnerships with farmers and ranchers\, local and state governments\, and other federal agencies to maintain healthy and productive working landscapes. It is NRCS policy to provide ecosystem-based assistance to all our customers to help them improve ecosystem health\, restore damaged ecosystems\, and sustain natural resources. NRCS has been involved in stream bank stabilization and restoration since the beginning of the agency. Stabilization and restoration techniques have ranged from hard protection to stream bank soil bio-engineering. Stream bank soil bio-engineering is defined as the use of live and dead plant materials in combination with natural and synthetic support materials for slope stabilization\, erosion reduction\, and vegetative establishment. \nInfo here.
