Agricultural and Conservation Objectives can be a Win-Win

2023 MFGA REGEN AG CONFERENCE

Keynote Profile: Paul Galpern

Dr. Paul Galpern is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Calgary where he is a landscape ecologist and conservation biologist working chiefly in prairie croplands and rangelands. He is a PI on the Prairie Precision Sustainability Network which maps unprofitable farmed land across Alberta and Saskatchewan to support its conversion to habitat. By combining grower harvest data and satellite imagery, the PPSN is building a model that will predict future yields on low production areas, by individual fields. An active area of research is investigating the conditions where both agricultural and conservation objectives can be achieved at the same time. He believes that such “win-wins” are well within reach in Prairie Canada.
