Science Carriage Expert's Seat: Let's talk about regenerative agriculture and high altitude lands
Description:
Sara Marañón holds a PhD in Ecology and her research focuses on the effects of global change and the disturbances caused to ecosystems. At the UAB Science Carriage Expert's Seat, she will converse with passengers on regenerative agriculture, which aims to replenish the soil and guarantee that it has enough organic material and carbon to help it continue to be fertile land. Regenerative agriculture is based on the basic pillars of agriculture: soil and its quality, and how this relates to its capacity to store or release CO2.
The journey will begin at 10:42 a.m. on the FGC train travelling from the Universitat Autònoma to the Plaça Catalunya station.
