Increasing Water Productivity, Soil Carbon, and Sustainability of Integrated Multi-Crop Systems Using Field-Scale Research

Congratulations are due to Dr. Osler Ortez for receiving the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) Award for the proposal on "Increasing Water Productivity, Soil Carbon and Sustainability of Integrated Multi-Crop Systems Using Field Scale Research”.

This award will "support an expansive study across the U.S. Corn Belt and Great Plains exploring how crop, soil and water management affect the soil microbial communities that drive agroecosystem functions".

We got to hear from Dr. Ortez and one of his PhD students, Sumita Sen, about their thoughts on the project.
