Join the UW-CALS SNAP-Plus team in discussing the challenges of assessing economic and environmental performance in land-based production in the context of the emerging bio-economy. Many relevant research, extension and policy questions are on the table. How shall we proceed to measure and manage, intelligently? How can producers integrate environmental and economic decision making in a way that allows them to optimize both? How can we link farm level “micro” models with more macro models (e.g., watersheds) across various WI eco- and farming systems?
