March 7 ANR Seminar speakers look to the future

[Daniel Kesselring]

Two of the presenters at the March 7 ANR Seminar at St. Johns look to the future.

Digital Technologies to Enhance Agricultural Resilience in a Changing Climate and Society
Dr. Bruno Basso, John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor
Michigan State University

The balance between producing more nutritious food for a growing global population, protecting the environment on which lives and livelihoods depend, and providing economic opportunities in rural communities is becoming increasingly precarious.

Title: A Journey Toward Great Lakes Resilience
Jane Elder, Author, Wilderness, Water and Rust
Retired Director of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters
Former National Director of Ecoregion Programs for the Sierra Club.

What do we value about life in the Great Lakes region, and how can we move beyond the rust-belt legacy to imagine bold new strategies through which ecosystems and communities can thrive?
