We were invited up here to tell you folks all about our East Prince Agri-Environment Association, which we formed about three years ago to build a more environmentally sustainable agriculture industry through evidence-based management practices that affect our environment.
We are 12 producers from the Prince County area of Prince Edward Island, and we're primarily potato producers. We're all located on the same rivershed. It's called the Dunk River watershed. We are there to share common interests in building a more environmentally and economically sustainable potato industry in that area.
How would we achieve this? We work with each other, researchers, government, industry, and the public to better understand how our agricultural practices are impacting the environment so we can make more informed management decisions.
Here's a picture of one of our many projects, working directly with the federal researchers. It is a willow tree project to mitigate greenhouse gases. It's very interesting.
Take it away, Jason.
