“Our research group is currently investigating practices and mechanisms that lead to reductions in runoff phosphorus losses and ammonia emissions from byproducts associated with broiler poultry production. The financial support provided by Georgia Power has been crucial in our efforts to reduce environmental impact and improve the sustainability of food production systems. We are very appreciative of this research support, which significantly impacts the agricultural industry in Georgia.”
