International Symposium Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and Increasing Carbon Sequestration in a Circular Economy

September 29, 2021. Online

The McGill University Water Innovation Lab, in conjunction with the University of Saskatchewan and Dalhousie University held this virtual on-line international symposium, under the auspices of the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AGGP) II. The Symposium was held in collaboration with the Canadian Water Resource Association, Fulbright Canada, the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage and the Global Research Alliance. The aim of the symposium was to present the results of over 5 years of research on beneficial water management practices which simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase agricultural productivity, and produce environmental co-benefits. These presentations were followed by two panels: Assessment and Modelling of Ecosystem Dynamics (6 presentations), and Framing Approaches to Greenhouse Gas Reductions in a Circular Economy (5 presentations) .  The following is the symposium's PDF icon Agenda and the video is here

ICID AGGP Workshop

August 12-17, 2018. Saskatoon, SK

The 2018 International Conference and 69th IEC Meeting of the ICID was held in Saskatoon, SK on August 12-17. The theme of the ICID conference was “Innovative and Sustainable Agri-water Management: Adapting to a Variable and Changing Climate.” The theme was explored through three sub-themes: Competing Water Demands; Resilient Agriculture – Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change; and Irrigation and Drainage in Perspective. The ICID conference featured a special workshop on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, chaired by Professor Chandra Madramootoo.  Following is the workshop agenda agenda (PDF icon August 13: Workshop on Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions), and presentations:
