Dr. Claudia Wager-Riddle to lead a national research network aimed at reducing agricultural nitrous oxide emissions

A new research network, CANN2ONET, will gather leading nitrogen experts to find ways to reduce Canada’s emissions of N2O, a potent greenhouse gas, with new funding from the NSERC-SSHRC Sustainable Agriculture Research Initiative. It spans several universities and colleges across Canada, as well as partners from industry, government and producer organizations.

Leading the network is University of Guelph professor and Allinace-funded researcher Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle at the School of Environmental Sciences within the Ontario Agricultural College. Though N2O is rarely considered by farmers, she says, its impact must be better understood to mitigate climate change and work towards sustainable agriculture.
