Description

SWCS is organizing “Farming with Grass: Achieving Sustainable Mixed Agricultural Landscapes,” to be held October 20-22, 2008 in Oklahoma City, OK. The focus is on enhancing the multi-functional benefits and sustainability of mixed agricultural systems that dominate many sub-humid to semi-arid grassland ecoregions of the U.S. and other parts of the world.  The conference will consist of invited speakers, submitted papers, and facilitated roundtable discussions.  The overall goal of the conference is to address agriculture at a crossroads, through the convergence of increased environmental awareness, widespread recognition of human-induced climate change, emerging bio-based energy systems, rural demographics, and commodity prices that are higher than they have been for many decades.

The call for papers closes September 1, 2008. More info at www.swcs.org/fwg
