Looking for resilience
Resilience – where is it, what does it look like and why we need it. Look at resilience through the eyes of researchers involved with two Leopold Center projects hit by heavy floods this summer, new Interim Director Lois Wright Morton and Distinguished Fellow Fred Kirschenmann. You’ll also see how longer crop rotations have mysteriously curbed Sudden Death Syndrome in soybean research plots and learn about a powerful new tool to explore new local food markets.
Other features: An ISU research team hopes to test its weeding robot, peek at a new publication about the many benefits of prairies for landowners, and meet another new advisory board member.
