CHN Presents at American Corn Growers Association Convention

January 16th, 2009

CHN colleagues Curt Meine and Paul Heltne were invited speakers at the annual meeting of the American Corn Growers Association in Iowa. Curt and Paul participated (with CHN partner Donald Hey of The Wetlands Initiative) in a panel on conservation entitled “Continuing the Gains and Focusing on Problems: Water Quality Trading as a Potential Solution.” Meine’s talk focused on the need for integrated solutions to complex conservation problems, while Heltne focused on sustainable economic approaches that properly integrate human economies within natural systems. These framed Hey’s discussion of the potential for nutrient farming in Illinois, a project that CHN has helped to develop over the last several years. The talks at the ACGA meeting were recorded and are available for listening at http://www.acga.org.
