For those who are unable to attend in person.

Join us for a special seminar at 11:30 a.m., Sept. 24, in Keim Hall 150 or online at go.unl.edu/seminars.

Bijesh Maharjan will present “Soil Health and Nutrient Management: Bridging Research to Education and Extension.”

What does it take to make agriculture more sustainable? It takes more than good science. It takes farmers, industry, policymakers and communities working together to connect soil health, nutrient management, economic realities and environmental outcomes. Maharjan will explore a systems-based approach that puts people and decision-making at the heart of building more sustainable agricultural systems.

Maharjan was named the Ray and Jolene Ward Professor of Soil Health Science April 1 and will be honored at this special seminar. This newly established professorship in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture honors the Wards for their longstanding contributions to Nebraska agriculture. The recognition ceremony and seminar are from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.
