Here is a video by the Harry R. Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology that features Thriving Ag Project Co-PI, Dr. Gurpal Toor. The video is about a project completed by University of Maryland Scientists Dr. Gurpal Toor and Dr. Yun-Ya Yang to find the optimal practices to keep nutrients in crop root zones and out of local waterways. This project was funded by the Harry R. Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology.
The field site shown in the video was also the last stop on an edge-of-field site tour in Maryland that took place in October of 2021. A couple of Thriving Ag Project team members and members of the Stakeholder Advisory Board were able to join the tour with Dr. Toor. This included:
Dr. Dave Abler, Professor of Agricultural Economics, Penn State, and Project Director
Chris Brosch, Nutrient Management Program Administrator for Delaware Dept of Ag
Maggie Frederick, Project Manager, Penn State
Amy Jacobs, Agriculture Program Director, MDDC Chapter The Nature Conservancy
Nancy Nunn, Assistant Director, Harry R. Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology Inc.
Project funded by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture
