Valley of Death is Easier with Partners (Key Learnings from RegenPGC, and Where We Go Next)

Presenters:

  • D. Raj Raman, Morrill Professor, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Iowa State University; Director, RegenPGC
  • Brandon L. Schlautman, Lead Scientist, Perennial Legumes, The Land Institute; Research Theme Leader, RegenPGC

For the past seven years, Brandon and Raj have worked as part of a large transdisciplinary team to develop and deploy perennial groundcover systems for key crops in the upper Midwestern US. They have co-authored papers and proposals — some successfully, some not — and have developed approaches to working and managing in large team environments that they will share during their talk.
