Michigan State University is joining a network of research sites to develop national strategies for long term, sustainable ag production.
Agricultural ecologist Phil Robertson tells Brownfield research on the impacts of long-term practices has been underway for more than 30 years at Michigan State University’s Kellogg Biological Station, but as a funded member of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network, projects will be more stakeholder-driven.
“To find what experiments we should be undertaking, how those experiments should look, and what kind of outcomes would be most relevant for most producers,” he says.
