There's been data gathered for many years on carbon sequestration on grasslands. Researchers were gathering the data a long time ago.
For a long time, though, I think we were focused on production, to be honest with you. What we understand very much now, though, is well-managed grasslands. Grazing them continuously is actually better than just letting them stand, because it rejuvenates them. We're starting to understand that. I think one of the biggest things about forage and grassland research is that what happens in Manitoba can be very different from what happens in B.C. and Alberta. There are just different climatic conditions and different ranges.
What we're trying to do under the next beef science cluster is to do a better regional analysis as to carbon sequestration currently and what the best practices to maximize carbon sequestration across these different rangelands are. Given that the soil conditions are different and the climatic conditions are different, what you recommend in Manitoba may be very different. We are working very much in partnership with the researchers across this country and also with groups like Ducks Unlimited, which have their own research under way.
