Jornada Virtual Symposium Presentations (2020)

Recorded presentations and posters are available here.

Presentations represent recent Jornada research and outreach activities. They do not represent all work at the Jornada, but reflect the diversity of approaches we are taking to promote natural resources conservation and agricultural sustainability.
