Discover how the Living Lab initiative in Ontario is working to reduce the loss of nutrients by studying working farms in the Lake Erie basin. We will also learn about how Ohio State University is using innovative solutions such as phosphorus absorption structures and wetlands to tackle persistent sources of phosphorus and help reduce their impact.
