The research I’ve been apart of for nearly two years is going to be presented at this year’s Soil Science Society of America’s annual meeting. It will be apart of the symposium “Smallholder Farming Systems and Extension Education Opportunities” (Wed. 6 Nov. 8AM, Session 360-1, TCC, Room 3 and 4, First Floor). See add here and press release here.
