1 The Agricultural Pollution Prevention Program Innovative Partnerships and Educational Programs Julia W. Gaskin Biological & Agricultural Engineering Dept., College Of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Georgia
2 In the age of limited resources Need to leverage resources: funds people other resources Partnerships critical Good example is AgP 2 Program
3 AgP 2 was started in 1994 Partnership between: UGA Cooperative Extension Service Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Pollution Prevention Assistance Division
4 P 2 AD recognized: Agriculture was $6.22 billion industry in GA Farmland occupies substantial portion of land
5 The Agricultural Pollution Prevention Program
6
7 Environmental Assessments Georgia Farm*A*Syst Program Non-regulatory self-assessments Poultry EMS Partners for Agricultural Environmental Management Systems piloted in GA
8 Animal Waste Management AWARE Animal Waste Management in Research and Extension Coordinates animal waste management issues. TEAM - scientists, educators, agricultural professionals, and farmers - UGA, other universities, state and federal government agencies, agricultural associations and businesses
9 AWARE Goals 1) Identify waste management problems 2) Prioritize research and extension waste management needs 3) Promote statewide communication 4) Develop and provide educational tools/workshops 5) Provide a forum to demonstrate the pro-active nature of Georgia's agricultural industry 6) Provide information exchange and updates
10 AWARE Accomplishments Developed training on how to develop Certified Nutrient Management Plans Developed training for CAFO operators
11 AWARE Accomplishments Technical input for regulators, legislators, trade associations, environmental groups in GA on new animal waste regulations Georgia Phosphorus Risk Index
12 AWARE Accomplishments Webpage with current information Changes in regulations Deadlines Current workshops National news and information Listserve
13 Land Application Provides technical support for beneficial reuse of by-products in agriculture Looks for opportunities that are environmentally safe and are agronomically effective
14 Land Application Poultry litter Wood and fly ash Municipal biosolids
15 Land Application Scrap wallboard gypsum Engineered wood products Water treatment residuals
16 Land Application Training for regulators on agronomic issues: Nutrient management Soil fertility Training for operators thru Georgia Water and Pollution Control Association
17 Sustainable Agriculture Sustainable agriculture is: profitable, environmentally friendly, and good for the rural community. Includes: integrated pest management, rotational grazing, soil conservation, and nutrient management. These practices are integral to pollution prevention
18 Sustainable Agriculture Partnership with USDA SARE PDP Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Professional Development Program Provides scholarship money for extension, NRCS, and farmers
19 Sustainable Agriculture Helps fund training Edible aquifer at county agent water quality training Local food production presentation at Broad River Watershed Association Stream biological assessment at county agent water quality training
20 Environmental Horticulture Provides technical assistance and education on pollution prevention for: Ornamental horticulture producers, Commercial landscape enterprises, and Residential and commercial landowners
21 Crop Production Focuses on pollution prevention strategies that can help farmers reduce their potential impact. Including: conservation tillage systems, integrated pest management, and safe handling and storage of pesticides/hazardous materials.
22 Crop Production Exhibit at the 2003 Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition
23 Crop Production Rainfall simulator showing the importance of cover in reducing runoff and sedimentation Getting started exhibit headed up by NRCS
24 Crop Production Benefits of improving soil quality AgP 2 with Auburn University and NRCS Soil Quality Institute Mini-rhizotron showing plants roots and soil organisms from the ARS lab at Auburn, AL.
25 Crop Production Gummy worms and tattoos! Model showing surface water processes
26 Success True collaboration People focused on overall mission of education rather than credit Identify and work with the 10% that get things done Share resources (use partners strengths) Don t reinvent the wheel
