Soils at Guelph Executive Co-Director and Agrometerologist Claudia Wagner-Riddle collaborates with Living Labs Ontario to focus on the cropping side of a commercial dairy farm.

Claudia and her research team use BMPs like crop rotation with alfalfa, soybean, and corn to mitigate GHG emissions. Measuring nitrous oxide release on one crop with nutrient stabilizers and one without. There was a 30% decrease in emissions.

Cows have a significant contribution to the carbon footprint of milk, and Claudia’s team works with the crops they eat, using beneficial management practices in the soils to lower GHG emissions.

The Living Lab Ontario project brings together farmers, organizations, researchers, and other experts to co-develop, test, and evaluate BMPs that address climate change challenges in livestock and cropping systems
