The 5 Supporting Activities correspond with the BMPs, and implemented field trials and applied research with farmers to capture realistic data.
These activities focus on:
An assessment of the impact of land use and management practices on nitrate loading in intensive agricultural watersheds. Project led by Dr. Fan Rui Meng, University of New Brunswick.
A socio-economic analysis of BMPs: Project led by Patrick Withey, St. Francis Xavier University and Van Lantz, University of New Brunswick.
Paired field trial demonstrating BMPs to reduce nitrate leaching. Project led by Yefang Jiang, Agriculture Agri-Food Canada.
Paired subwatershed trials demonstrating BMPs to reduce nitrate loading to receiving waters. Project led by Yefang Jiang, Agriculture Agri-Food Canada.
Enhancing soil quality with reduced tillage. Project lead by Judith Nyiraneza, Agriculture Agri-Food Canada
