Lisa Schulte Moore: Reducing Nutrient Runoff from Agriculture
Phosphorus and nitrogen are critical for growing food but can be dangerous when they enter our waterways as runoff. Lisa Schulte Moore, a landscape ecologist, Iowa state university professor, and a 2021 MacArthur Fellow, talks with John about how Iowa agriculture practices impact the Mississippi River and how her work integrating prairie vegetation into crop fields led to real results in reducing soil erosion and nitrogen and phosphorus runoff.
