Description
Summary:Southwest and Southern Plains Air Quality and Production Agriculture Science and Applications Workshop What: Nearly 60 professionals from agricultural, environmental, and health sectors met to identify knowledge gaps and progress barriers within the agriculture–air quality–climate change nexus for the Southwest and southern Plains regions. Short presentations detailed the national assessment results, current mitigation options and resources available for the agricultural sector, current USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) air quality priorities, evolving indicators and models for emissions, and current measurement networks. Raising awareness of air pollutant sources and impacts across agricultural areas can prepare these communities with the information needed to plan with agricultural advisors, make changes to their operations, or advocate for air quality needs. Five major areas of air quality and agriculture guide the organization of this roadmap: * Role of drought and land-use change on dust generation and management * Ammonia emissions from feed yards and dairy operations * Impacts of ozone on agriculture * Mitigation options * Early warning:
