Please join us for the sixth Solution-Driven Science Symposium.
Agriculture affects water quality; how much farmers should be blamed is an ongoing debate. But rather than arguing over who's responsible, University of Minnesota researchers are finding new ways to reduce agriculture's impact on our state's streams, lakes and aquifers. At "Water and Agriculture in the 21st Century," a daylong symposium on the St. Paul campus, scientists will share how their discoveries affect the big picture of Minnesota's waters today and in coming decades.
The “Solution-Driven Science” symposia highlight topics that are relevant to everyone’s future. The symposia are supported by and reflect the strategic initiatives of the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences.
