Our Work
Our Services
This was written with AI but I was thinking just a header description. Could be redundant so maybe I won’t include this but tbd. With decades of expertise in agricultural and environmental management, we deliver comprehensive solutions backed by scientific research and practical experience. Our services span environmental resource protection, land assessment planning, and agricultural best practices – providing you with the tools and knowledge needed to optimize your agricultural operations while ensuring environmental sustainability. Explore our service areas below to discover how we can support your specific needs.
Applied Research
This is a short section overview that highlights whats contained in this section. Basically what kind of applied research do you do? Summarize the options and that should be good. 2 or 3 sentences is all I want. I think 3 lines looks better than two so I am adding texts to beef this section up?
Beneficial Management Practices
This is a service overview section. I think it would be beneficial to explain the work that is done for each service. So this section can be used to generalize that, and then we can use the bullet points below to highlight existing projects.
- On-farm applied research and monitoring for soil health and water quality (ONFARM)
- Best management practices evaluation in the Kettle Creek watershed and Lake Erie basin
- BMPs for managing irrigation water runoff and environmental conditions (dehumidification practices) for the greenhouse and container nursery industry
- Evaluation of innovative water treatment technologies for the reuse of nutrient solutions in the horticulture industry
