The Long-term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network: Towards sustainable food, environmental integrity, and resilience in working lands [abstract]. 2020 Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting, August 3-6, 2020, virtual. Available: https://eco.confex.com/eco/2020/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/81842 Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: 1) Background/Question/Methods. Agriculture covers ~38% of the world’s land area and over 50% of the US. Such a large land-use, combined with growing populations, creates an urgent need for more productive agriculture that protects and promotes environmental integrity. The USDA’s Long-Term Agroecosystem Research Network (LTAR) aims to fulfill this need by simultaneously enhancing agriculture’s productivity, minimizing its environmental footprint, and promoting rural prosperity. |
