U of G master's student Courtney Higgins shared her pasture research with BFO's Jaclyn Horenberg at the Ontario Beef Research Centre as part of the organization's Rural Ramble on the Road series.

She is the Canadian lead on a new global research centre that will investigate the challenges and opportunities of "green ammonia" in food production and clean energy.
