Dr. Kate Congreves is an Associate Professor and Jarislowsky & BMO Research Chair in Regenerative Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research program is focused on understanding nitrogen (N) flows, cycling, and losses in crop production systems. She studies the fundamental mechanisms that regulate N cycling ecosystem processes in a range of cropping systems, including field crops, specialty crops, and horticultural crops.
Why ‘regenerative’ agriculture is more than a new name for ‘sustainable’ farming
