SUMMARY:2025 Innovation Exchange - Managing Marginal Lands
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Innovation Exchange: Living Lab–ON Research Forum is a four-part virtual series exploring climate-friendly solutions co-developed by farmers and researchers. \n\n\n\nDecember 17th   – 12:30pmManaging Marginal Lands \n\n\n\nWhile marginal lands are unsuitable for crop production\, they can offer a range of environmental benefits – which if managed well\, will still benefit your agricultural operations. Living Lab researchers\, Lauren Des Marteaux (AAFC) and Kara Looyenga (UofGuelph) are studying field boundary areas to assess how different boundary types affect carbon sequestration\, and how habitat restoration can support beneficial insect populations\, like pollinators. Aaron Breimar from MooseAg will also share how tools like profit maps can provide field specific guidance to optimize management of low value areas and how to decide whether marginal lands are worth keeping in production. \n\n\n\nAPPROVED CEU CREDITS: Soil & Water Management CEUs: 1

SUMMARY:2025 Innovation Exchange - Nitrogen Management
DESCRIPTION:Dec. 10th  – 2:30pmNitrogen Management \n\n\n\nOptimizing your nitrogen applications is a complex management decision. Apply too much and lose returns on your investment or increase the loss of nitrogen as nitrous oxide (a potent greenhouse gas). Join Living Lab – Ontario researchers\, Craig Drury (AAFC) studying nitrification and urease inhibitors to understand how these products can benefit the environment and your crops. We will also hear from Researcher\, Aaron Delaporte (AAFC) on how these practices can improve your ROI and a Living Lab farmer-cooperator exploring ways to optimize nitrogen management using plant-available nitrogen from cover crops. Hear how their first set of trials has gone\, and how they are adapting their management strategies on their farm going forward. \n\n\n\nAPPROVED CEU CREDITS: Nutrient Management CEUs: 1This session is also an approved OFCAF KSEParticipants must attend sessions to receive these credits

SUMMARY:2025 Innovation Exchange - Unlocking the Science of Liquid Manure Methane Emissions
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Innovation Exchange: Living Lab–ON Research Forum is a four-part virtual series exploring climate-friendly solutions co-developed by farmers and researchers. \n\n\n\nNov. 26th  – 11:00amUnlocking the Science of Liquid Manure Methane Emissions \n\n\n\nLiquid manure storages can be a significant source of methane—a potent greenhouse gas—on Ontario dairy and swine farms.
