Sustainable Ag Supply Chains and IPM with Justin Krick, Kate Schaffner, and Ben Wickerham

Transcript

Apr 16, 2021

Sustainable farming systems are critical for all of us, from producers to consumers. It’s therefore important for the full supply chain–from food companies and ingredient suppliers, to farm service providers, to CCAs, and farmers–to support sustainable agriculture practices, many of which can have a beneficial impact on pest management. This episode, we dive into the partnerships and work being done towards these goals between The Nature Conservancy, Star of the West Milling Company, the Kellogg Company, and producers in Michigan’s Saginaw Bay region.

Tune in to learn:

  • The differences between Pay for Practice and Pay for Performance conservation programs in US agriculture
  • Why flexibility is so crucial for farmers’ success in adopting new practices
  • How conservation agriculture practices can benefit integrated pest management
  • How partnerships across the supply chain can support sustainability
